Callings not an option. But I think folding better than jamming.

im not happy in this spot. I like squeezing but before i squeeze i need to know if im committed with the hand preflop or i waste QQ as a bluff. So if im confident going all in pre then ill squeeze. If not i cold call the original raise.

In this spot vs what looks like a reg with the small sample i have to guess he wont get it in with AQ or JJ so im gonig to be facing AK or QQ+ here and QQ isnt doing so well vs that range so id rather flat the raise and keep all dominated hands in and play postflop.

If i had KK or AA or any random 87s type thing i would squeeze.

I don't think foldings best..sure there are times we run into KK/AA but it's not enough to warrant folding. I think it makes it a ton easier to stack off to, because we're both 100bb deep and it's only 5 handed with a bit of dead money in the middle and of course we have QQ lol.

I need Villain's PF4B and CO Steal (LP Steal is ok) to make a determination but basically I think folding here is super exploitative and should happen almost never, unless you have a specific read that he's never 4betting that spot without KK/AA. Based on what do have here, I think he's a super standard TAG player that will probably be opening the CO with a fairly wide range (at least 25%), probably knows you'll be restealing somewhat light (plus he's IP), and thus will also generally 4bet with a reasonably wide range -- he can have like any SB, ATo+, A5s, or even sometimes be light 4betting with high-ish SCs or any suited Ace/King, so we're ahead of his range. 5bet jamming pretty much forces him to show up with something strong though, so he will only ever call with AKs, AA or KK. I prefer flatting and then reevaluating OTF (I will probably end up like donk-jamming or check-jamming a ton of flops anyway, but my RIOs for jamming pre are horrible).
