Strong line by villain. Can I get away from this? I block AA, QQ & QJss and lose to AJhh, KJsshh, JThhss, JJ. Is this ever a bluff w/ KK or TT? Are they doing this w/ AQ or AK?

Is V reg or fish? Vs unknown fish type i'd mainly fold pre. Fold equity too low for bluff 4b imo. Calling might be better on GG as less incentive to win pre.
AP, idk, it's tough. I think it's so rarely a bluff overfolding is probably totally totally fine. X turn would be better, then BC river is going to be more EV.
I call pre and occasionally use hands like A4s for 4betting here. Depending on villain of course but this is a typical resteal spot so calling IP is probably the way I’d go to keep villains range wide.
Flop I don’t mind betting but for me I check behind on the turn to induce bluffs.
Is this ever a bluff w/ KK or TT?
Not many players at 5nl can turn these kinds of hands into bluffs....probably with good reason since a lot of the population aren't folding hands like yours. Even if they did it seems unlikely that they'd min-raise the turn - they'd likely jam instead
Are they doing this w/ AQ or AK?
No I think when the two Js come on the flop these hands try and get to showdown without getting all-in along the way.
The only thing that makes sense to me is that villain flopped a boat or quads...Hard to see them flatting a 4bet OOP with anything else that ultimately takes this line
