I'm 3-betting and fairly happily calling a cap.

PF is meh. You can probably pick a better spot then 92s. But it is something I do from time to time to though [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I was originally all for this thinking that many Ax hands will think they have you beat. On top of that, many Ax hands might open from the SB. I want to 3-bet so badly, but I could see myself losing to JJ and AA if villain caps and I'm surely not folding.

This seemed so straight forward, but now I think I feel as confused as OP as what should be the best line.

There are a lot more combos of Ax hands than JJ or AA.

I 3-bet the monkey. Call a cap.

Does hand reading support Ax?

Hand reading really doesn't support much right now. You provided no reads, and it's very possible that a player could play AK etc. this way trying to extract the maximum from a hand like K5 (which would often confusedly call the river), etc. His handrange is wide enough here that you're ahead 66% at the least, I'd be guessing.

I also fold this preflop.

Well, I guess I don't think a pair of aces will check this turn that often. And I don't think a pair of aces (other than AK,AJ) will checkraise the river. And that's assuming those hands check the turn.

It's just a strange hand that if I thought through all the way I could justify just calling the river cr. Maybe not.

If AK wouldn't check this river, would JJ?

They both would check the river. But I'm discounting AK based on the turn. I do think AK is a possible holding for Villian.
