4 and 5 bets in the micros
I've been having trouble playing big PP in 4 bet/5 bet situations. This is mostly when I play hands like JJ,QQ, and AK where I'll 3 bet and face a 4 bet. In General is it better to flat having position or to jam? I also feel like most 4 bets in the micros are KK and AA and have been stacking off queens quite often in these situations which is a -ev play as villain rarely shows up with JJ or AK often enough.
Also when I open UTG with queens and get 3 bet by MP and I 4 bet, villain jams. Again is it better to flat out of position or to 5 bet jam. I feel like 4 bet fold queens can't be the right play and is exploitable but villains hardly ever 4 bet bluff and will usually run into a bigger PP.
I play mostly 5NL zoom so these reads are more population based rather than player based. Thanks for any feedback

it depends on the positions...
imo u can 3bet/5bet QQ,AK vs the CO but vs MP u have to differentiate between a Squeeze spot and a heads up spot.
If you are heads up MP vs BU I would call the 4bet with JJ,QQ,AK,AKs. OOP u can call the 4bet too but tbh 3bet/folding QQ,AK isn't that bad OOP vs a lot of people because as you mention many people have tight 4betting ranges.
vs UTG I'd lean towards 3bet/folding QQ,AK but I wouldn't 3bet AKo in the BB vs UTG unless he is a fish... and QQ you also don't have to 3b vs UTG in the BB... however in the SB it's mandatory to 3bet both of these and without reads ya 3b/folding as well
ya and if its a squeezed pot preflop you can broke QQ+,AK in a lot of situations
