PokerStars, Hold'em No Limit - $0.01/$0.02 - 6 players
Hand delivered by Upswing Poker

UTG: $2.25 (113 bb)
MP (Hero): $2.18 (109 bb)
CO: $3.46 (173 bb)
BU: $2.04 (102 bb)
SB: $2.00 (100 bb)
BB: $2.66 (133 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.03) Hero is MP with J J
1 fold, Hero raises to $0.06, CO calls $0.06, BTN 3-bets to $0.24, 2 players fold, Hero calls $0.18, CO calls $0.18

Flop: ($0.75) 7 2 6 (3 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $0.36, BTN raises to $1.80 (all-in), MP (Hero...? ,

CO is maniac-fish, I've seen whole cards of his a few times triple barrel bluffing with air and getting called down. One hand he 3-bet me pre- I 4-bet shoved QQ and he called with JTo. The player from BTN seemed tight, I've seen him at a few tables but don't see him get too active with the table , maybe a TAG type player.

After looking at the hand we have Jc so BTN can be raising with less FD's although I don't know if this type of player would take this line with a FD, having a hard time deciding if he does it with any over-pair or only QQ+

if CO is such a fish maybe 4bet pre for value and he can stack off vs you... BTN pre can have ATs+ 77+ QJs+ no?

i would call postflop you need to call 1.80 to win 2.90+. and if you flat JJ pre it is like the best flop... unless ofc you are absolutely sure BTN is on QQ+ only. then fold. i think it depends on what you think how tight/straightforward he is.

It's a tough spot on the flop. If BTN knows CO is a maniac he/she could shove wide enough to stack off with JJ I think.

Problem with 4bet pre-flop is that you need to invest at least 1/3 of your stack and than it will be tough to fold if BTN shoves on you.

Co being a manic fish is likely a very good reason to just 4bet JJ pre as Btn's 3bet range can be pretty wide if they have that info as well so i just go with the hand and try and iso the co hu if we get it in vs Btn's range it's not the worst spot.
