(preflop)
Action so far: Hero BTN opens 2.5bb with J♥J♣, SB 3-bets to 10.5bb
Pot: 10.5bb To call: 8bb
Villain range:SB 3-bet from OOP vs BTN: QQ+, AK, A5s-A4s, KQs
Your move:
The math
GTO answer: Raise to 24bb
JJ in position facing a SB 3-bet. 4-betting to about 24bb is the standard line for value and to deny equity. Flatting lets the SB realize equity in a bloated OOP pot and we miss value from QQ-AK. Folding is far too tight. 4-bet and play for stacks if shoved on.
