Um, I'd try and get it in on the flop or turn. His min3betting (=donk) and checking the flop is a really wierd line. I'd expect to see AQ+ here alot more than JJ+.

I kinda like it, I will not threebet any UTG raiser though, but I'm sure UTG was pretty bad.

I probably bet flop (and puke when he check/minraises me).
As played on the flop, I call the turn, aiming to call just about any river (save A or K, usually).

I do like your small river bet.

Ive been seeing a lot of threebet pf and crai on flop with AA and KK recently. I suppose I can just bet and if he shifts I might fold, but I dont like being in that position.

My feeling was that I wanted to get to showdown, but youre right, I think that AQ and AK are probably big parts of his range, so a flop bet could be in order.

Bet/get it in on flop.
Checking flop and calling turn gives up tons of value.

is this a joke? CBet flop, no AK on turn shove. If he sneaks you with AA and KK fine, but having a PP under QQ is so common, even AK AQ AJ. Way too much value to play a small pot here. You will double up more often than not

No, it's not a joke. No need for that.

Yeah, for some reason I didn't type that. Get it in PF, don't give flops to people with worse hands who aren't getting away pf, but might get away on bad flops.
