The villain is 22/18/af1.6/3B:6/F3B:92, 200 hands

BTN is 21/13/af2.2/3B:14, 91 hands

SB is 32/14/af1.5/3B:0, 77 hands

PokerStars - $0.25 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 189.84 BB
SB: 185.8 BB
Hero (BB): 109.56 BB
UTG: 102.8 BB
MP: 107 BB
CO: 374.04 BB

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has J♥ J♠

fold, MP raises to 2.2 BB, fold, BTN raises to 8 BB, SB calls 7.6 BB, Hero calls 7 BB, MP raises to 107 BB and is all-in, fold, fold, Hero ? ?

It's kind of a mess of a hand, first I hesitated to 4bet pre, and then I don't really wanna fold vs AK/AQ/AJ/A5s-A2s/TT/99 or the range ahead preflop like QQ+.

In my mind, a standard line without read, TT is a fold preflop if the SB didn't over-call.

Thoughts?

I think you can cold 4bet fold here vs mp and btn and look to play the pot vs sb who looks like the fishier player. Back raises rarely have you beat here and sb is the more likely to make calling mistakes.

Villains line is pretty strong. I don't see to many weaker hands in villains 4bet shoving range. So that makes folding not to bad against a decent player.

You could 4bet to like 30bb, but than you get decent odds to call a 5bet shove with your stack, but than you beat only AK in villains range.

There's the point you only get decent odds with AK in villains range if villain is only 5bet shoving KK+ vs a cold 4bet then we get poor odds. I think theoretically QQ and AKo AKs are all 5bet shoves at least a good chunk of the time here but are people doing that in practice or are they flatting 4bets mostly with those hands ?.
