I mean BTN . My bad.

I think I 4 bet preflop.

SB looks like a clear isolation raise and I think BTN is 4 betting here always, so it's one of those reversed situations where I would flat with AA expecting BTN to 4 bet squeeze and I would 4 bet all my other hands to put pressure on the SB to fold (safe in the knowledge that heads up vs BTN I have reasonable equity)

As played our hand looks super super strong flatting in the big blind as the other 2 players must know we're expecting a squeeze here. So when the 4 bet does happen I think it probably is a fold to one of them as inevitably it's going to be a big pair somewhere.

I also like the 4 bet as it's important to widen our range a little here preflop and this seems a good spot to do it vs a super loose BTN and a SB who may be reacting by widening his own range.

I this situation we do dominate a lot of the flush draws BTN have,we make big two pairs and straights.

I would be more happy to 4bet a lower ds rundown hand and i would rather see a flop with this one.
When you say 4bet, would you 4bet a smaller size? since we have position on Sb and we can leave some behind for calling a 5bet and play a flop bet? and keep BTN and SB in with weaker hands and the option BTN is 5betting sb out of the pot? All this seems reasonable with AA** and out hand.

BTN 4bet range is wide normally lot of ds hands and AK** , Abighands.

How does our dangler effect our play?

It goes without saying that obviously we want it to be a jack, but does the dangler matter? You make a good point because I think if it's a suited deuce I honestly heavily consider throwing the hand away. But T6 makes a straights that JT would have anyway (789 board) so if the dangler was 5 or less, I think maybe I do fold but a 6 is the worse playable hand here.

You might want to see a flop with this hand (and I agree with you, it's obviously a great hand to see a flop with, but I just don't see it happening given the mechanics of the game you have layed out. Your problem is a flat call wont let you see a flop and a min 4 bet will get no respect from button (who in their right mind would do that with aces here? nobody!) so I do not see a way you can see a flop without committing yourself preflop, therefore the only options are to fold (which feels super weak with such a nice hand) and to pot 4 bet.

A min 4 bet would only be good if you were planning to fold to a 6 bet shove from SB (ie he only does this with AA and KK) but if you're committed with the 4 bet, then better make it a pot bet.
It's not a great situation to be in but I think it is the best of the options
