Dan Owsten put me in a tricky spot early in APAT Cardiff. Thoughts on this?

(1/7) > >>

Sillbags:
We had only played 1 or 2 orbits and Dan had been pretty active opening pots as expected. Stacks were 9k effective (think Dan had me covered by 2k). Blinds 25/50, Folds to Dan on the button and he makes it 125, SB 3bets to 450 (1st 3bet from this guy). I have  jc jd in the BB and briefly consider a 4bet to iso the SB, whom I have position on, but don"t want to face a 5bet from either player so I elect to flat for pot control. Back to Dan, who now 4bets to 1200. SB folds. I flat the 1200 (not loving this situation tbh). Flop  9d 8s 4c, I check-call Dan"s c-bet of 1650. Turn  9h. I check and Dan fires 3300 and I tank fold  :-\ Didn"t think that there were many, if any bluffs in his range at this point as he has now committed over half his stack and I was likely facing a river shove, and lets not forget he did 4bet pre. I am only really beating 10"s at this point, but didn"t think he would 4bet pre with 10"s. What do you guys think?

oh, and I might have got the rag card slightly wrong, but doesn"t change anything ;)

Swinebag:
4-2o FTW - wp Dan

tough one this
flatting a 3 bet with the original raiser to act (who has position on you) seems wrong but the cheap option
folding seems wrong (you have JJ)- but at this early stage, it may be the most conservative play.
4 betting seems best given Dan"s image, but 4 bet folding seems so spewy.

I think I flat the SBs 3 bet but fold to Dan"s 4 bet pre (he does get dealt good hands as well - you know)

As played, I do what you do because I don"t want to go broke with a pair

AMRN:
If I"m remembering the right hand, it was me in the SB that 3-bet... I had AK, and with the flat from the BB and the 4-bet from Dan, I figured AK was in bad shape. I suspect JJ was also in bad shape.

Sillbags:
That must have been a different hand Steve, this was just button vs blinds, you had already passed. I was the guy who got gifted 12k when a woman 3bet shoved for 60bb with  :as: qh  ;D

Don"t know whose jaw dropped open the most on our table at that point  ;D
