$1.10 NLHE MTT Bounty: $$1.10 NLHE MTT Bounty: Pocket jacks against a cold call and an all-in

MTT about 1200 players
Blinds 60-120 ante 15 level time 10 mins
9-player table
effective stack 4500

I had just been moved to this table so I had no real information about the players


UTG(villain#1): min raise to 240 stack 1300 pot 555
UTG+1: folds
UTG+2: folds
UTG+3: folds
HJ (hero)3-bet to 600 with pocket jacks stack 5750 pot 1155
CO (villain #2): calls stack 9000 pot 1655
D: folds
SB: folds
BB: folds
UTG: all-in pot 2715 1060 to call( about 2.7:1)
HJ: folds
CO: calls

My logic for folding jacks was that I was OOP against a big stack who had COLD CALLED and who would probably stack me. I figured that I could very easily be dominated by QQ, KK, or AA, so I played it safe.

I'm shove it, when our stack is less than 40bb, we can't fold top 5% range.

Just shove it, it's also a bounty tournament so it's one reason more to shove it.

I think this play is ok, you dont have to risk so much with this big stack IMO.

I'm going over the top and shoving preflop. It may not be the right move, but if I 3-bet I'm not giving up that easy. It's a bounty game, and only a $1.10 buy-in. I will take my chances with this hand :D

I think the most important thing in poker is discipline and the fact that JJ 3-bet you can safely throw away + you are not in position . We need to think if it is 1$ tournament you can go to the all in relying on luck .

most big stacks in bounty tournaments call off with a ridiculous range. bounty tournaments are a whole different ball game. most people jam any ace, any suited connector, any pocket pair. I would say more often than not in that situation the guy that jammed was trying to buy you off the pot and go head up with the big stack. pocket jacks are an all in for me in that situation.

Position doesn't matter when you're talking about getting it in preflop. It's not like you're going to get outplayed post flop. Well, it does matter when looking at the position from which a player raised/called, but once it's all in you're not OOP anymore.

I would iso shove after the button call and UTG shove. At small stakes the BTN big stack flat call is going to be loose. If they have QQ+ gg unlucky.

edit:
I would iso shove { 99+, AQ+ }

icmizer says push { 99+, AK } with default initial calling range for BTN 8% -- if BTN calls wider initially then hero should be iso shoving much wider. I think BTN is wider especially with the bounty considered, but JJ is always a shove here.
