Default $120 Sit and Go Live

I was in a live sit and go for a $120 buy-in, top 3 pay out $500, $300, and $200..

Starting chips are $2000 each... I have about $2200 no real big or small stacks at this point.

After about 15 hands I (MP3) am dealt QdJs, blinds are $50-100. UTG limps UTG+1 limps 2 folds I limp all fold around to SB who calls and BB chekcs: Pot is $500


Folp: Jd Jh 9h
UTG bets $200
UTG+1 calls
Hero Raises $500 to $700 (leaving me $1500 in chips)
SB folds
BB folds
UTG goes all-in $2200 (calls my $500 raise and reraises 1700)
I call all-in $1500

I had never played with these people before and no good read on villan. The short observation was that he was probably loose, played virtually every hand but no idea on his aggression. How would you have played this out? would you have called?

Fold PF. As played, get it in here on the flop every time.

tough spot - small bet/rrai... it is a really really strong showing from UTG. Your only hope here that they have a JT/QJ, a combo flush draw of sorts, or a slow played QQ+. I really cannot see people doing it with AK/AQ/TT (prolly would've folded to your raise). I'd say that it is really read dependent, not sure if a lot of people will go that crazy with just AA/KK/QQ.

Thanks..... I thought the call was reasoanble ( I made it) but was second guessing myself after. I was pretty sure he had a Jack otherwise he would have been a complete moron which he wasnt. Even given him a Jack I think the call was still ok. If he had AJ,KJ, QJ, JT suited or nonsuited plus a pair of 9s (which I didnt think likely) I think I had the odds to call.

Calling his flop push is one of the top 10 easiest calls of all time. I probably fold preflop though because 20 BB is a really bad stack size for trying to turn a profit QJo. Raising preflop would have been better than limping. If I'm playing any hand in that spot, I'm pretty much playing it like I have AA regardless of my holding.
