What's my plan here? I believe that AA, AK, JJ and maybe TT make a lot of sense in his range here, but since there's no other read (?)

If I bet will I get calls from JJ and below?

bet 1/2 pot on flop, reevaluate turn, he usually reraises if he hit his king so we can kick it flop if he reraises, if not i usually fire a second barrel, he could call with so many hands there- and kk or aa (maybe even ak ) is most likely reraising our reraise

This is a tough spot, and a reason why i've been losing a lot of money with PP lately.

If you do a standard cbet, you can get check raised here by a lot of hands that you're beating like 99-jj. If you had a read on villain's aggressiveness, I'd be more tempted to bet.

If you do a standard continuation bet here, I don't see how you can fold to a cr.

I'd check behind and see what villain does on the turn, and probably check/call non-ace turn and call/bet non-ace river.

bet $8 you can prob. broaden his range a liittle more than that..but if you think thats what he's got you should still bet out and see where your at AA and AK prob. c/r you here

You'll get cr by an aggressive player with a lot more than AA/KK. That's why I said it helps to know the villain.

With that said, a cbet will take it down a good bit of the time when he has air, smaller pair. When he pushes, you're going to have a hard time folding.

I think the biggest problem with your hand is your preflop play. Your 4bet pretty much commits you to the hand. If you just call his 3bet, you can play the hand a lot easier especially since you're IP.

As played, I think the best play is to bet 8 and fold to a push, but you're going to be getting 3:1.
