Default JJ in BB

Thoughts on this hand? Stars 22 rebuy, about 90 players left with 54 paid. Button and BB haven't been out of line, but then again I'm multi-tabling so I don't have much of a read. What is your default play?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t1600 (8 handed) internettexasholdem.com

MP1 (t16750)
MP2 (t30272)
CO (t105488)
Button (t55180)
SB (t50734)
Hero (t24518)
UTG (t39472)
UTG+1 (t14843)

Preflop: Hero is BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

I like shoving for two reasons:

1) Button is possibly stealing
2) SB is likely re-stealing

Thus, their hand ranges are pretty wide here and you have most of them beat. You only have to worry about QQ-AA and I don't think either of them have it.

I would stick them in. Your M is about 10 and you most likely have the best hand.

The button is probably on a steal, and it looks like the SB is on a resteal probably with a good hand but you should be ahead of his range. I doubt the SB has a pocket pair bigger than yours. Who knows the button may actually have a big hand but you should be way ahead of his range.
