Pre is standard for me. Flop massive and get a cbet and I raise and as I clicked it I thought what am I doing? I'm just going to fold all his crap and get iso'd vs 2 pairs+. I mean my equity is not horrible no matter what he has but just a stupid donk move regardless I should be flatting that 100% of the time.

Once I mess up that bad what then? Just go with it or just flat and see turn and his action on it.

Building a pot with TP+NFD is never a terrible idea. Once he 3bets though I really don't like the situation that you're in. I guess 3bets from villain should be relatively rare since they're a super strong move but it does put you in a tough spot. I'm of the opinion that you won't see many bluffs here, if any when you hold both the Ad and Qd. In that case jamming won't be great since FE will be negligible and you're behind or flipping at best with any of his value hands. Folding isn't an option because you're getting good enough odds to continue so I guess call would be the line I take.

I have a feeling in game I would take a flop jam line but I suspect that's not best. I'm curious to see what others have to say.

It's not the right combo to check/raise at these limits even though it can never be that bad. Flop x/c usually good. X/r will still be +EV though, it's basically impossible for it not to be when we have so much raw equity.

Anyway, as played, just call the 3bet and play according to pot-odds/implied-odds. It's probably not quite a value-jam against his raising range, and bluffing makes no sense (for a few different reasons. We have a bluff-catcher and probably have no fold-equity by this stage anyway).

With so much equity and likely the best hand I much prefer calling, even if we are OOP. I know it sucks if a four straight appears but we can still continue with our draw.

As played we're lucky he didn't 3 bet so large so it's still a simple enough call for pot odds. No way would I consider jamming at this point, I think it's unlikely he does this with much that we beat considering he opened UTG and should have a ton of showdown value in his range which he won't bluff with.
