Default JJ in an interesting spot

my main issue here was i obviously played JJ for set value at 1st....but then i thought it might be reasonable to call an open shove like this. i was torn and kind of lost. thoughts?

PartyPoker $11 Speed Tournament, Big Blind is t60 (10 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

Hero (t2000)
UTG+1 (t1940)
MP1 (t2490)
MP2 (t1365)
MP3 (t2430)
CO+1 (t2150)
CO (t1500)
Button (t1540)
SB (t1465)
BB (t3120)

Preflop: Hero is in UTG with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Hero calls t60, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, MP1 calls t60, <font color="red">MP2 raises to t218</font>, MP3 calls t218, <font color="gray">CO+1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, SB calls t188, BB calls t158, Hero calls t158, MP1 calls t158

Flop: (t1308) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (6 players)
SB is all in,<font color="gray">BB folds</font>, hero?

I'm a nit, so I'd fold. If it were down to you and SB I'd call, but you have three other guys in the pot yet to act, and you have no idea what they might have. I think it behooves you to play cautiously at this early stage of the tournament.

Real easy call.

P.S. Don't play JJ for set value at an 11.

I know opinion on this differs, but I don't like playing JJ for set value, even from UTG. I make it 200 to go preflop. I saw a stat somewhere that even from UTG the chance that somebody in later position has a better hand than JJ is only 11%.

I think it's a bad spot to be in where you're faced with that flop and 5 opps, but I agree with aujoz and pineapple, it's a crying call.

Eh, it's not awful, but kind of a donk move, it gives an easy decision to villains, you're not all that thrilled to be called by AK so early, and of course AA-QQ has you crushed.

But we have sweet overlay, and odds are no one has a hand that big.

I wanna limpraise. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
