$Freeroll NLHE MTT Turbo: PS league highschool - BB defense

This was the last playable hand I had before being knocked out at 10 (one short of FT). There were approximately 15 people remaining at the time and I didn't feel confident shoving with J9o. Having said that the other guy was playing relatively loose and was being a big stack bully.

Was this the correct call? If it were suited I would've shoved. But I know only improve by 2% if that's the case. I don't have a good game plan for BB defense. I'll be doing some serious reading on this subject after I get some shut eye.

Please excuse brain fart of a post as given above. There are some obviously easy to find BB defense resources online. This CC thread being one. I'll make a more diligent effort in the future to review my game when I'm well rested.

Personally, the only ocasion I fold in this spot is on a satallite bubble situation, maybe a tornament with a high payout, but then you have to check ICM

Thanks for the suggestion bumerangue. I've never used one so I didn't think of it earlier.
