Default Stars 11r JJ facing reraise

What do you guys think about this fold. My concern was that if i called the shortstack would move all in and the bb would come over the top. I don't want to play a big pot like that preflop with JJ. Is there a better play?



PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t800 (9 handed) internettexasholdem.com

Button (t32818)
SB (t38780)
BB (t26369)
UTG (t14280)
UTG+1 (t6640)
Hero (t45640)
MP2 (t10200)
MP3 (t15826)
CO (t12210)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t2250</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP3 calls t2200, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to t8050</font>, Hero folds, MP3 folds.

Final Pot: t12850

Bad players don't squeeze enough, this is not a squeeze, this is QQ+.

He is raising out of the blinds and coming over the top of your UTG raise, find a better spot to get your money in

Your range is way too tight. You will see AK/AQs do this too.

I know a lot of bad players who are just calling with AK/AQ here. Just read the Sklansky forum where 80% of the respondants advocate a smooth call in the BB with AKs against a button raise 45bbs deep.

I think that it is heavily weighted toward big pairs.

However, against anyone whose game I respect I am beating them into the pot
