This is a harder spot than it seems because once we get 3 bet I really don't like any options that we have. Folding is out of the question, calling leaves us a tough spot as an Ace or king will flop a decent amount of the time, 4 betting to something like 17 BB is an option but same issue if they call and if they 5 bet jam then what are we doing? (I guess fold at that point), and jamming will get villain to fold out his hands like JJ, 1010, and AQ which we want to stay in the hand. Nothing seems to be a great scenario.
Of the above choices I think what we have to do is eliminate the moves we feel are worst so that next time this spot comes up we can be ready. I believe the worst move is 4 betting in the 17 BB size range (deeper stacks and this is a decent option). I think this is either a call or a jam as you did. Jamming I think is not as good as calling since as mentioned we are letting villain off the hook to easily on hands we want him in and the AA KK he could have will snap call and we are gone 80% of the time.
Calling does not leave us in a beautiful spot either but it gives us options post flop. We dont always have to fold to an ace or king when it flops depending on villains sizing. We can of course fold if we choose when it does and the time we are ahead we will get max value. Crappy spot to call but I think it seems best in these spots.
