Default Warm up JJ spot

Just moved to table a round or two ago. This is villains first open that i know of. SB is gigabet. When people 4X pre i tend to assign them a range of like 99-QQ, AK. On flop i'm now behind TT/QQ, and i question how much 99/AK will keep things up. What should my line be?

do not call preflop if you're folding that board. I push preflop FWIW and push this flop too. I don't understand your reasoning in calling pf and then not knowing what to do on that board. What was your plan?

i usually just shove/minraise here, whichever you think would look weaker at the time.

i think his decision on the flop is call or raise, folding is definitely not one.

edit: rereading the OP, seems he is considering folding.... i don't really think thats an option.

I think if you jam pre you only get called by the very top end of his range at these stacks where as calling in position here when you get under card boards TT/99 is going to stack off a lot.

I was watching when this hand went down, so with that, I think as you played it, it was fine and I would have done the same play.

i should say, that without a really strong read, i dont think folding is an option. It'd have to be a pretty ridiculous hypothetical player for me to just fold to one bet on that flop, after hvaing just called pf.

I can't see doing anything but shoving, no? In my experience the warm up is the softest tournament online. Versus an unknown I think it would be a mistake to fold here.
