Default JJ near bubble in early position (Stars Daily 15K)

This was the daily afternoon $10+1 tournament with 10 minute levels at PokerStars.

There were 2081 entrants today and 225 got paid.

There were about 275 left during this hand. I had been playing tight up to this point, and my opponent had been there for about 10 minutes, and seemed solid. I had recently doubled up after calling a UTG pusher that had open pushed preflop three hands in a row with QQ.

The average stack was around 11K and I estimated about 10 minutes until the bubble broke, but my goal was to make it as far as I could.

(400/800 with 50 antes)

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

MP2 (t4480)
MP3 (t6586)
CO (t16055)
Button (t2310)
SB (t18422)
BB (t3135)
UTG (t13580)
UTG+1 (t12300)
Hero (t17000)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t2400</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to t7200</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero ???</font>.

Is this a clear fold? What range should I put my opponent on?

man, though spot. I'd say 99+, AQs+, AK. I don't know how you fare against that range but this is a close call...

I'm thinking this is a fold lately.

Here's a good thread that's a tad similar: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showfl...part=1&amp;vc=1

Factor in that we can expect these guys to call a helluva lot more preflop and OOP, with our stack, i think this is a fold. That said, stop n' go'ing is still hard for me to avoid here.
