[MICRO] 25NL R&C OOP pocket TT turn jam.
Thoughts on how I played it?
V 19% VPIP, don't have further stats, but seems like a standard TAGish weak 25NL R&C reg, he's from Albania if that makes a difference =D
176bb Eff stack.

Flop: X on the flop seems standard, V does b33 and I call. Ran it through GTO+ and it does recommend XR majority of the time with TdTh which was a bit surprising to me, with a TsTh it XR with near 100% freq which also surprised me. I am only now getting into learning about XR, but XR middle set on flop didn't cross my mind, my usual XR would be bunch of draws, weaker one pair type of hands, possibly bottom set. Are we XR so often for value from draw heavy hands like 98s, KQ and some Jx?
Turn: X seems standard as well after XC flop. He goes ~b25 this time and I decide to jam hoping to get called by a J with good kicker, Two pairs and possibly Kx. Solver agrees with my X jam, but I feel like I might have missed some money on the table with potential V Jack vs a TAG player. And I feel like the population are giving too much respect to a XR at these stakes.

1. preflop totaly fine to 4b in gto but vs very nitty players and when you are unexperienced in deep spots i would recomend just calling here because it is a very tricky spot to play postflop deep oop.
2. flop i would just simplyfie to range bet i think you will not loose to much ev by that as soon board is more connected like JT9 , J98 etc then i like checking a bit more (when villain has a nutted advantage and your AK AQ is not comfortable betting 100% anymore.
3. as played always check raise 2. and 3. set because unblocking the top pairs AJ KJ etc and unblocking draws KQ 98
4. turn i think we need to raise but i realy dont like the shove. I think with a smaller non allin raise we can put much more pressure on his range like AQ AK etc and also bluffs get much more credible like this. We dont realy have very high eq bluffs here to check jam mostly we have something like QQ KJ etc them we would never x jam here
So just consider the small raise next time when deeper

For the most part I agree with the above, @ OP.
Anyways, good posts by both of you.
With regards to (1.), in general most microstakes regs are 3bing BB vs SB around 12% of the time... and when he is looking a bit tight + R&C (tight) + uses 12bb 3b size + deeper, all these things would make me think he's a bit tighter in general. Also, deep here and vs the large 3B you're 4B range is much more polarized than standard 100bb eff ranges... so you'd probably 4b larger and not include TT type hand.
