Hero call AI preflop with JJ, spew?
I have never seen villain before, he was 1-tabling and had doubled his stack before I got to the table. It was my first orbit at the table and I had raised and taken down the last 5 pots (coincidentally having good hands) either preflop or on the flop with a c-bet. Villain had been involved in 4/5 of those pots. Villain pushed instantly after the action came to him.

The push was just so fast that I couldn't imagine it being any other hand than AK thinking "omg I have AK must maximize fold equity." Given my table image and the timing and size of villain's bet, is my call correct or is it better to just fold and wait for a better spot? Does this decision really depend on how large your bankroll is and how much you want to push small edges?
This is the best (having the best hands) range for villain that I have >50% against, but I think that it's just {AKs,AKo,AhAd}, which I'm nearly 54% against

Remember to act with a plan. You should already know what your response to various actions will be before you 3-bet.
Your read is that villain is passive pre-flop - calling 4 times in one orbit. Read also shows that villain knows where the fold button is... This makes the pre-flop 3-bet marginal, especially from MP.
AK/TT/ATC may fall into villain's 4-bet range here, but based on stated reads i would snapfold.

I should have a plan for people raising 200BB on a 10BB 3-bet? Also, I had raised the last five hands and villain had called preflop and folded flop three times. The other time villain played was when I 3-bet him and he folded.
Regardless, I think you guys are right. His play was just so terrible here that I didn't want to let it go unpunished, sort of like when I auto-raise min donkbets with ATC(does anyone else do this?). I flat this pre nearly all of the time because I love playing JJ in position but I don't think you should play it the same way every time.
Badgers, if he has AA is he leveling me or playing just the right amount of shitty? Funny thing is, you can't tell against an unknown.
Results:
Villain had A:club:K:club: against my J:heart:J:spade:, flop was K:spade:9:spade:Q:spade: turn was the beautiful T:heart: river was the 5:diamond: I was the favorite on every street.
EDIT: I don't think he has QQ here, ever.

also, you say favorite like being a 52-48 fav. means something when he's at the absolute bottom of his range.
