Default JJ vs KK on AAx flop

I played this hand on Ladbrokes:

weaktight | Hand | JJ - €0.50/€1 No Limit Holdem

My opponent has been playing pretty loose, he has been 3-betting and 4-betting alot. He is not a regular at 100 NL and made a bunch of poor plays during this session. He likes to float alot and bluff players out of small pots. Just wanna have some opinions about my call...

THX

Preflop is just terrible. Fold or 5b, but ffs what you did makes you the fish in this hand.

I also don't understand how floating and bluffing players out of small pots are leaks or bad plays. From your description and inability to fight his aggression, it seems to me like he just outplayed you and now you're in denial by insulting him. Sounds right?

I won't go into putting the "fish" label, I see you wanted to induce him to hang himself. It was just not the right spot...

Agreed with urbansprawler - fold or shove pre, well TBH I'm shoving. Really, you are going to face such a bad action postflop OOP, I assume you were going to check-call like any flop?

You said he bluffed a lot of small pots. Here it really looks like he just extracts money out of his image. I don't see anything worse than QQ+/Ax in that spot.

Maybe a slightly better is to CRAI turn if you are going to call the river. He will check everything you beat on the river and valuetown you with stronger hands 100% of the time.

CR-ing can (very unlikely!) push him off JJ/QQ, really you can't count on that but it won't be worse than calling.

Thank you podbelski! CRAI turn is an option that I really like in this situation. Try to do that next time.

Don't get yourself into this spot in the future.

Yep, I it is extremely unlikely your CRAI will work, do not count on it at all
