Seems pretty standard overall. The only thing I thought to look into was Turn bet sizing. Because you have no clubs it might mean a smaller size is appropriate, since any raise now basically says you need to fold. With the smaller size maybe you get a chance to continue on their raise, or just get away more cheaply. Regardless, overall, seems like a good fold.

a good study exercise is to build a range for the Villain- what do they flat a 3 bet OOP? AA KK QQ? AQdd AJdd ATdd? KQdd KJdd Once you build the range take the time to think about your bet sizings vs the potential range. When you bet 50% flop what is the range now? Is your sizing correct for that new range? what worse hand are we getting value from? etc etc:unsure::geek:

It's good to block JJ here, as he can call your 3bet a decent percentage of the time. At the same time, if your opponent is able to have a very wide range of calls while OOP, the question is whether hands like QTs or 89s can ever be there (in the V range). If the answer is yes, you played correctly. If the answer is no, or it's a turn math issue, then your fold was nitty
