Hello,
So at the time i was thinking :
- if he has weaker AA, AK, 2 pair, flush draw he will mostly call or sometimes jam
- if he has a straight he will mostly reraise not all in
- if he has a set he can flat / jam / reraise not all in
so that's why i folded, but then once i folded i couldn't stop thinking about the hand all day long and i started doubting my decision but his line does look so strong so i'm wondering was this a just get it in and was i being too nitty or is this fold ok.

I think you have to at least call here. He has AK, J9, KJ, AA and club/club hands that can raise here that you are still crushing. I think you have to see a turn here.
if i call flop and turn is blank and he jams pot i need to be right 1/3 times so i can never call flop & fold turn on a blank and its a drawheavy flop so isnt it jam or fold, he's not bluffing here so he probably will call anyway
By jamming flop, he calls with everything that beats you (Q10 & sets) but you are going to fold out some of the top pair and over pairs (of course I am assuming he folds AA, AK, J9 and clubs when you jam, all of which you beat currently) If he calls AK, AA and draws to a shove, then by all means go for it, but I prefer to err on the side of caution when you have zero history with someone. Plus there is a slight chance he has the same hand as you.
So by re-raising you often isolate yourself against a strong range, whereas by calling, he might continue his aggression on brick turns with hands you crush. On bad turns (clubs, 9, 10, Q or A) you give yourself a chance to re-evaluate plus you do have the re-draw with the remaining K's and J's.
I would probably just call the initial bet on the flop. It's not a flop that you're going to want to be raising a ton given that you don't have KK, JJ, AK, AA, or probably 99 either.
and if turn is blank you raise and get it in ? or you just call down 3 streets?
Probably just call down 3 streets. I don't think that you're going to stack a one pair hand too often on this board unless the opponent is quite bad.
thanks
easy jam man... he had hand ej : AA, AK, K9, flushdrow
