$11: 4bet shoving JJ vs tightish player?

Player was relatively tight, his first 3bet. I was running him over with 3x raises and figured he might be 3betting alot of worse pairs that he could call a shove with thinking I'm professor insano tiltshoving with junk. Haven't played alot of hands. Maybe like 15-20?

I calculated in pokerstove and against 88+/AQs/AK I only have 52% equity. A little thin methinks. Actually it's a losing shove not considering rakeback as I need 52,5% to BE. He didnt make a huge 3bet either. Then again I think my range estimation might be a little on the strong side. My question is really: Can we reasonably assume a relatively tight player (no definitive read on degree of tightness, but it's very probable he's 3betting with some sort value here and not as a bluff) would call a shove like this with worse? Is something like AJs at the bottom of his range?

In your equity equations you are assuming he calls every time? Obv he won't. This is part of the reason the jam is profitable.

Yea of course, but there's not so much in the pot. I think it's more profitable if his range includes AJ and 77 then if he folds those hands since I have 70 and 80% equity against those. He isn't folding the stuff I included already unless he's really, really tight which is so rare I don't expect it all that often.

Edit: In addition, this is meant to be a valueplay. I don't like turning JJ into a bluff, if I shove it and he folds every time and I always win the pot I would rather flatcall and play postflop to possibly win his entire stack. Furthermore, most opponents just aren't that good. I am giving up a large edge by chasing this smaller edge. I know alot of people here are proponents of the "Don't pass up any edge" but even if it ends up being like 57% edge including FE I still think that's a little thin.

well its just so profitable to jam if he folds every time Smile
