$0.05 NL - Holdem - 6 players

Insignificant sample size, but up to that point, villain had a fold to steal of 80% (8 out of 10).
On the other hand VPIP/PFR tells a different story.

UTG: 121.2 BB (VPIP: 18.56, PFR: 15.63, 3Bet Preflop: 10.00, Hands: 97)
MP: 25.2 BB (VPIP: 34.62, PFR: 3.85, 3Bet Preflop: 9.09, Hands: 26)
CO: 152.2 BB (VPIP: 23.08, PFR: 3.85, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 26)
Hero (BTN): 100.6 BB
SB: 210.6 BB (VPIP: 26.72, PFR: 15.52, 3Bet Preflop: 10.71, Hands: 117)
BB: 151.8 BB (VPIP: 35.59, PFR: 23.73, 3Bet Preflop: 5.88, Hands: 59)

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has J♣ A♣
Thoughts and questions:

Spoiler

I usually bet/call with most of AXs, but Flopzilla and Equilab say that I'm completely crushed vs a 3bet range of 5% or even 8%... Should I fold or only continue with bigger AXs or maybe AXs with str8 potential?

fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to 2.4 BB, SB raises to 8.8 BB, fold, Hero calls 6.4 BB

Flop: (18.6 BB, 2 players) 2♦ 2♣ T♥
SB bets 10.4 BB, Hero calls 10.4 BB
Thoughts and questions:

Spoiler

I thought "I have a bd fd + 1 overcard in a hard to hit board", but Flopzilla and Equilab say that my range is crushed and I'm not ahead of anything and my chances of improving are marginal. So, I guess it was a clear fold.

Turn: (39.4 BB, 2 players) K♠
SB bets 22.4 BB, Hero calls 22.4 BB
Thoughts and questions:

Spoiler

Now, I'm not even ahead of KQ and pursuing a fd become too much costly. Fold?

River: (84.2 BB, 2 players) K♥
SB bets 64.6 BB, fold

Spoiler

SB wins 80.8 BB

Preflop call everyday I don't care the nititude of villain. You don't have to drastically change your 3bet calling range BU vs SB-BB whatever your HUD might be telling you. Eventually just fold offsuit borderline stuff such as ATo and KJo when facing a nit and that'll be that.

That's confusing to some but I still had a deep conversation about this topic several days ago with some skilled people and Matthew Janda has written about it somewhere although I can't seem to find it anymore. The point is when blinds doesn't 3bet enough, you nearly call as much preflop and nearly call as much flop and that's all. Really exploitative adaptations come later in the hand.

Anyway given that you have 117 hands on villain I don't even know why we are having this conversation. You can't begin to say you have an exploitative fold OTF because you know his cbetting range so much. At least I don't.

As played easy fold OTT.

Chinese proverb : Give a HUD to a man, he'll exploit one day, but teach him to use a tracker... and he'll complain about his AIEV all his life "Si debis pedere, pedis superbe. (If you must fart, fart proudly)" VorpalF2F
