You have only 16bb, JTs marginal hand for postflop game and with your size stack no limp, so need only shove or fold here... I am only shove preflop in freeroll, in pot very more chips, think it will be very profitable in this situation...

About postflop game, with only top pair and bad kicker on dry board you must fold vs this villain with stats 66/17, he very passive and can only bet with range hands like set, JJ+ or top pair with best kicker...

Never limp. In this position JTs is good to bet preflop. In flop all is OK.

tourneys are all about stack size management.

If you have 40+bb you can limp along or even raise to isolate in position with this hand.

but with 16bb your options are greatly reduced. Basically, you can only shove or fold here, and I'm leaning towards the fold.

JTs amounts to a speculative hand in a multiway pot and your stack cannot handle playing speculative hands right now. Not to mention 2 limpers and a short stack all in should induce somebody to shove behind you a fair amount of the time, so you're not even guaranteed to see a flop.

As played, you've flopped top pair and the pot is already pretty big when the action comes to you there are already 10bbs in the pot and you have 14bbs behind. I can't really fault you for jamming here, sure you're going to get called by better Tens a fair amount but facing a player who plays 67% of hands, he can be betting worse hands or draws often enough that jamming makes sense.

It's still pretty dicey because there are 3 other players in the hand but what else are you going to do? Flatting seems stupid as you're pot committing yourself anyways and giving good odds to draws. So you basically have to jam or fold on this flop and given the way it's all gone down I think jamming is better than folding (but it's a far cry from a happy shove.)

Which just illustrates why you shouldn't be limping a hand like JT at this stack size. Even when you flop top pair, all your options suck.
