Pre Flop: (t30) Hero is BB with J :heart: J :club:
6 folds, BTN raises to t60, SB raises to t180, Hero ??
Just to be sure I either should fold or shove right and flatcalling is out of the question. As you can see SB has a quite looser 3betting range.. so would u reshove this hand? but yeah we should consider original raiser too right..

In the early stage, I play JJ like mid pockets. I will typically just call an open raise in the first few levels with JJ anyway. I will not look to get all in. Avoid those 9th and 8th place finishes. If we shove and get folds, we pick up 270 chips. In the grand scheme of things, these chips are meaningless. We are risking a lot with a good hand (not premium), to pick up 270 chips, because if we get called, its not likely going to be with anything less than overs (AK) or bigger pockets (QQ+), unless the player is pretty bad.
Even if we double up, its certainly nice, but our equity in the SNG does not double, so, we need to go all in with premium hands to justify this equity difference (typically QQ+). Just dump JJ here and pick a better spot.

Yeh, just fold it. Generally speaking too, early 3betting ranges are usually quite tight, so while he may raise with things like 10's and 9's and be willing to get all in, there are way more combinations of hands like AQ and AK which we absolutely hate to be flipping early with.
