Default $125 Live MTT to squeeze or not to squeeze??

This was at a local casino, about 1/2 the field is left. At a table with 2 big stack bullies (10k++). I have average stack 3k. I've only been at this table for a couple of orbits and haven't entered a pot. I know UTG and Button as we play together alot, I've got a very very TAG image with them. They are all fairly good LAGs.

UTG is a good regular that took a bad beat and has picked up the aggression(tilting??). Both big stacks enter almost every pot and button is another good regular who likes to play his button almost every orbit.

Blinds 100/200 with 25 ante.
All chip counts are approx but close enough.
UTG 2k
Bully #1 10k
Bully #2 12k
Button 4k
Hero (BB) 3k

UTG raises to 450, this is odd, his usual raise is 3bb.
UTG+1 folds
MP1 folds
Bully #1 calls
Bully #2 calls
CO folds
Button calls
SB folds

Pot is 2325
Hero is BB and looks down to see JJ so hero....

That's what I thought. I don't look at my cards until the action is on me and I insta shoved when I saw the JJ.

With UTG's weird raise I was thinking he had a monster and in fact folded QQ. I didn't show (obv.) but he said that he knows I'm tight and my insta shove could only mean AA/KK.

So, for the sake of discussion, what is the weakest hand range we pull this move with?? Given reads/table image couldn't we make this same move w ATC?

Geez if we knew that UTG was going to fold QQ and below yes you can do this with ATC. However, that is retarded seeing how AK is in your range just as JJ or maybe even TT. I think the fact that you are squeezing over so many villians tightens your range considerably. It is very likely that with the amount in the pot and the fact that most of them have you covered you are getting called here.

Congrats though!
