I play it the same. You should be way ahead of CO and utg flop bet = weakish.

[charlieD]

looks good, but i may stick it all in pre against those villains

[ryanghall]

Yuck. I guess the push is fine. Do NOT stick it in preflop.

i really dont like this at all really. level 1 vs a 5x bb utg raise im probably calling for set value and folding when i miss, even as an overpair. if i flatted with 99, and the flop came 357 im also folding, and this is essentially the same thing.

[freeucm]

Yeah i probably do it the same way, run into a set of tens?

[alessandro59]

I shove v UTG on his own, but hate CO's flat call. Shoving here you most likely are way ahead of UTG but only really beat CO's A10 or a flush draw type of hand. Stinks of a set imo. What was outcome?

[Little John]

i play it the same but only because you think these two players are bad.

[billybeartku]

i play it the same but i wouldn't be happy when get called. JJ is very hard to play on this spot. Since utg is 31.8/8, which means he only raises top 8% of hands and your JJ isn't that much ahead of his raising range. He could've value bet flop bet w/ KK or AA or even TT. I think w/ QQ he might have bet the pot size, so that 1/2 pot size bet on the flop looks like either a cbet w/ AK AQ(which is less likely against two ppl to act behind him) OR he's value cbet w/ KK or AA. just my opinion, please correct me if I'm wrong.
