You are in general getting better than 2-1 odds favorite after the turn. It's okay to shove here. Did you get to figuire out a range for any of these guys?

Sorry... wrong hand. Yeah...I would worry about getting into trouble with a higher kicker shoving with AJ. That 3 bet is really big, and the guy is pretty sure that he has you beat.

Yeah raise like 4-5 big blinds pre. You should be seeing red flags raised up all over the place when you get 3bet 3X your raise when your OOP.
Today I lost $8 playing .05/.10, then I went back down to .02/.04 & won back $4 pretty fast. I'll never get wealthy playing this game.

Id spend a bit of time considering what hes going to be calling with there. the 3Bet pre says something about his hand, when the flop comes its unlikely to be a set (Slight possibility of 88 given hes loose). Sure, your crushing JJ-KK, but are they going to call a shove on an ace high board? Seems unlikely. AK,AQ all have you crushed, and those hands are more probable (Stats-wise).

Maybe Im being too nitty, but the flop reraise pretty much announces an ace, and likely a higher one than yours, so I would let it go there.

Shoving the turn seems pretty optimistic. If he folds, you're favored if you go to showdown, and you give up any chance to extract more value. If he calls, what do you beat that fits his actions? You gain when he folds better, but given his stats and prior actions, how likely is that?

What are your stats at this table

your crushing JJ-KK, but are they going to call a shove on an ace high board? Seems unlikely.

Maybe Im being too nitty, but the flop reraise pretty much announces an ace, and likely a higher one than yours, so I would let it go there.

I don't like the x/r on the flop's tbh, that said it gives you information when he calls he's still interested and not scared of the ace..

I reckon check to him on the turn and if he shoves you can comfortably fold unless you've reason to believe he could do this with a wide Ax range.. 29/17 I'm doubting he can but then again it's dependent on how many hands that's over.

If I'd seen him over value Ax enough and he capable of doing it with no kicker then it's a cooler and you just ran into the top of his range.. If I don't have this information then its a bad move to shove the turn when only AT+ and 88 can call you and everything else folds..

Once he calls your huge check raise on the flop that suggests a lot of strength since he also 3bet pre flop. The best thing to do here would have been to check fold the turn or river depending on when he bets and unless u get lucky and spike a jack, investing more money is not a profitable move.

Jack is not a good kicker to have in this situation, at best villain can have same kicker but more often than not he will have your hand dominated in such cases.
