Default Questionable line 5/10 Pounds at Inter

I'm holding JKo in the cutoff, I open-raise to 35 pounds. SB reraises me to 100 pounds. Now usually I would fold here, but villain had been playing loose and fast and I felt he was capable of making a move on me and that my odds bad so I decided to call.

Flop comes 9-10-5. Villain bets 200 pounds into a 200 pound pot. I shove, going all-in for 600 pounds more. Are there merits to this line? Does it have enough leverage to fold JJ/QQ here? I have been getting by playing ABC poker in the 5/10 games but have found that as the stakes get higher straightforward TAG poker just doesn't cut it and have been trying to incorporate a laggier aspect into my game. Let me know what do you think.

Villain will never fold an overpair here.

if you thought that he had JJ/QQ, i think you should have folded this preflop. From your post you think that he is much weaker than this and you may get a weaker hand to fold. your best chance of folding out JJ/QQ was a push preflop. as it stands you wont get jj/qq to fold on this flop. but you may get a fold from a lesser hand.

So am I not folding a big enough range here for the all-in to be an effective move?

I dont see how any villain who's playing "loose and fast" will fold a legitimate holding here. If he's bluffing, you win, if he's not its ugly. The merit of the play hinges entirely on your perception of how likely it is that he's bluffing.

my thinking is it worked but you think it might bad so you want to find out. well.. it depends ENTIRELY on who the villian is. i doubt ANYONE folds QQ+ here.. maybe a nit will fold JJ, but i doubt it.. will AK pot this flop? hrmm.. will 78 pot it? will T8s pot it? if hes loose and fast, SOMETIMES im MORE apt to shove here as he can be reraising light and potting flop light. standard play would be fold preflop or fold on the flop. against certain guys i push here, but im folding probably 84.7%, maybe more. holla
