Jacks out of position facing a 4-bet
Inspired by this post - hereYou are holding JJ in the small blind and facing a bet from a 'solid regular' player UTG (who 3X's it), you re-raise pre only to find that they four-bet.
Knowing you will be out of position post flop how would you play it?

At the micro end of the spectrum this should be an insta-fold unless the 4-bet is sized such that you can justify set-mining (which is rarely the case).
I was thinking about this during my play last night, I can't remember the last time I saw a regular name 4-bet and didn't end up flipping over aces.
With that in mind, I'd suggest that at micro levels a case could be made for always folding to a 4-bet unless you have aces / the sizing allows you to set-mine and the opponent is such that they'll pay you off with their aces if you hit.
Obviously I continue to struggle to take that suggestion on board when I continue to 5-bet jam kings and continue to stack off to aces...
