Default Home game $20 buyin 9 player sitngo preflop all-in

Just looking for opinions/advice on how you would play it.
9 man tourney $20 buyin top three pay 80/50/30 and starting chips are T2000

The blinds are 25 minutes starting at
10-20
20-40
30-60
50-100
100-200

8 guys left, I'm the BB and the cutoff is a solid player, value bets and bluffs, steals antes and often raises in late position T300-T400 to buy the antes.
Blinds were 50/100, two limpers to the cutoff who raises to T400 and I have 2 Jacks and around T1600 in chips. The cutoff has maybe T1800.
I decide the pot has enought chips in it and I push all in.
I'm sure the limpers will fold, just not sure about the cutoff. I'm seen him make this move too many times and I don't want to call and have to act first after the flop. I prefer trying to force him off the hand now and collecting the pot.

What would you do?

this looks fine
fold or shove here, if youve 'seen him do this too many times' then shoving is good

i think a shove is fine

some guys know to steal blinds but don't know to steal from limpers, but in general this shove against the type of player you describe is fine

I play it exactly the same against many players who would raise tighter than the one you described.

Ok thanks guys for the advice. Trying to improve game as always. The guy flipped a pair of kings to knock me out. Guess with this guy I should try to get a better read. I have also seen him fold to reraises.

It's almost impossibly hard to get a read that keeps you from getting knocked out here. He'd have to be incredibly transparant.

Interesting that everyone here shoves so quickly, after someone puts in 25% of their stack while giving two early limpers 2:1 to call.
