Default Full Tilt, another murky spot with JJ

I already said, JJ kills me ... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t250/t500
(Ante: t50)
8 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: t12594
UTG+1: t8514
MP1: t18030
MP2: t15565
CO: t4486
Button: t17965
SB: t37772
Hero: t10774

Pre-flop: (8 players) Hero is BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG folds, <font color="#cc0000">UTG+1 raises to t2500</font>, 5 folds, Hero calls t2000 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t3650)</font>.

Flop: 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (t5650, 2 players)
Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">UTG+1 is all-in t5964</font>, Hero ???

Originally I planned to check-raise him all-in - but what do I now?

Again I'd call - I think this time is even easier, cause the preflop 5xBB raise makes AA,KK somehow unlikely.

And I also think your first plan - to push preflop was a good one.

Some thoughts on his UTG+1 raising range would really help, but I'd imagine he's shoving 100% of his range here so I think you have to call.

Gotta call. I'd probably shove pre though.

I have not enough stats on him, generally he is a more tight player. He raised two of four hands from UTG+1, none from UTG. Over all he raises 9% of his hands.

2 important factors here Tack.
-We have a 21bb stack, it's time to turn it up, we're going to get our chips in at some point very soon, we have a premium hand.
-As mentioned, he opened 5x and removed AA/KK (and say 50% less likely QQ as well, just for fun)

What a beauty spot, If you put QQ in your hand, and that raise came at you, would you ever imagine you're behind? This 5x open is a huge tell, we are crushing his 77-TT or lower in donkiment mode, we're racing AQ,AK (if the tables calling off loose, I've seen the 5x+ opening big aces like this)

This is important, he has shown us we're crushing and he's not going away, get his chips in now before a bad flop scares him off... boatloads of equity here, we'll find we're dominating him a large % of the time. I know there is times to play JJ much differently than here, oop deep stacked is no time to go nuts with hooks, but this is sweet.

As played, beat him in the pot, fist pumping.
