What would you have done?
Down to T4,340 from an original T10,000 in a $530 buy-in tournament on Pokerstars, thousands of runners. Blinds are 100/200.
UTG + 1 limps in (I have seen him make some bad plays and I reckon he is a fish). Folded to cutoff who raises to T1,000 (he seems to be a good player from what I have seen but I am going on a small sample of hands). Both UTG + 1 and the cutoff had about T9,500 in total before the hand started. I've got JJ in the small blind. I decide to call, see the flop and decide from there. UTG + 1 calls the 800 more also. The flop comes 6s 4s 3d (one of my Jacks is the J of spades, helps only very slightly but hey) UTG + 1 bets T3,400 (which would put me all in). The cutoff calls. I am not much worried about UTG+1. I am concerned that UTG + 2 may be ahead of me with an overpair, but I decide to call. I groan inwardly as the turn comes Qc. UTG + 1 checks. Cutoff goes all in. UTG + 1 calls. They turn over: UTG: 5h 5s. Cutoff: 3h 3c. No help for me on the river and I am out. Would you have pushed preflop with the JJ? I would have been raising another T3,340 into a T2,400 pot and the money may have been shallow enough to make pushing with the JJ there the best play. What do you think?

Re: What would you have done?
No brainer preflop shove. What happens if overcards come on the flop? You committed 1/4 of your stack preflop and you could easily be beat. Get it in now.
