I just call instead of 3betting. Which may be a mistake, but there are two reasons for me calling.
Firstly, I don't think AQs will do too well against MP's 4bet shove range (in addition by just flatting I keep in dominated aces and queens which they will get in if they flop a pair).
Secondly, there are short stacks in the blinds capable of shoving themselves with hands I dominate.

BB donks multiway and I call. I don't like my hand too much, but with backdoor straight and flush draws, I believe that I have just enough equity to call, even against a straight value range, considering that they are capped.

I take a free card as they will be pot committed with their value range, and I will only fold out worse hands

I realise that I'm practically 100% behind opponent's range and calling here carries the lowest EV against folding and shoving, but would you agree that the Jack is a big enough scare card to get my opponent of their capped range, or are they too committed after making a min bet on the river, making a fold the best decision?
