Had no idea where I am at on flop. What does this mean? Probably QQ+ which he is never folding of course. Just had so many action at all tables, and it was hard to make good decision. I was thinking - if I check then he bluffs me. I have backdoor flushdraw so I bet. But I was thinking wrong - he has no hand which he could turn into a bluff. So this time he crushed me.

Ok, even if I hit my ace or king - I guess I should just check call them, because by betting, I just force weaker hands to fold and stronger to call? Right?

- not always.

co vs bu situation is always very 3-bet/4-bet happy, so question is what is his 3-bet range and more important what hands he would call 4-bet ip.
If you give him top 5%, then you´re crushed and should c/f

board: Jc3c9d
Hand Equity Wins Ties
AdKd 29.58% 7,109 8,037
5% 70.42% 22,474 8,037

But realistically people should get all-in QQ+ and might easily consider calling 4-bet ip 88 or AQ/KQs to see if they hit good flop, then you should shove

board: Jc3c9d
Hand Equity Wins Ties
88 68.00% 80,787 0
AQ, KQs 32.00% 38,013 0

Since you´re ahead his 4-bet calling range and he might easily fold 88 to your flop shove.
With backdoor flushdraw I´d likely would shove, since he would fold sometimes better hands and call with his draws+ if I 4-bet AK pf I wasn´t really expecting to fold to 5-bet shove and since I have fold equity against AK/AQ I would prefer shoving to get these hands to fold instead of checking it down or giving free cards

His 3bet range from BTN is 11%. But don't know which hand he could call 4bet IP with. His fold to 4bet is 25% (4) so we cannot say too much, but we can say something - that he is very likely not 3bet/folding a lot in general. But from the BTN position he could do that more often since he has 11% range. Yeah, but its probably possible that he is calling 88 and KQ. Just didn't think that such tight player could do that. (don't remember seeing such calls from regulars).
