I keep losing mini pots like this...

Blinds: t75/t150 (9 Players) MP+2: 6,141
CO: 2,038
BN: 9,194
SB: 4,541
BB: 1,594
UTG: 4,240
UTG+1: 3,061 (Hero)
MP: 11,142
MP+1: 18,743
Preflop (225) Hero is UTG+1 with J T
UTG folds, Hero raises to 345, MP folds, MP+1 raises to 1,050, 5 folds, Hero calls 705
Flop (2,460) 4 8 2
Hero checks, MP+1 bets 17,678 and is all in, Hero folds
Final Pot MP+1 wins 2,460

Im vs this guys who is a loose caller 40/26, who keeps calling hands and a 3Bet of 23, and has some postflop fold equity.

I raise JT, he reraise, due to his constant 3Bet, i decide to call. This flops comes and he goes all in. Im constantly getting in pots with unpaired broadway, with no broadway cards or only 1 broadway. What to do being the PFR In flops where there are all low cards, or low cards, and a T or J??

Thanks in advance!!

Yep, JTo if just not good enough a hand to raise with seven player's behind in general. With your stacksize it is even worse. With 20bb you should be even more careful in picking your spots. Calling the 3bet oop than is pure spew. Just look how JTo fares against villain's 3betting range, it is not good.

If you think he is 3betting light, you could shove preflop, but you would need some chunk of FE (which is hard given stacksizes). Even more reason too only open with a tight range in this spot.

FOLD FOLD FOLD FOLD FOLD !
Stick to the suited combos of broadways to open in this spot. It's more than enough.
Here you can probably open 77/88+, AJ+, and some combos of suited broadways depending on the table. KQo must be fine to open as well.
Then unless the guy is a complete maniac, just fold the bottom part of this range, especially vs this sizing, where you shouldn't have much of a calling range vs 3bet.
Vs 3bet, shove AK JJ QQ KK. Call KQs AQs. Mix call and shove with AA TT. Mix call and fold with AJs AQo. Fold KQo 77 88 99. Of course, you need to adapt to table and opponent, but thats more or less how you should build your range.
