I'd have reraised more PF, but it doesn't really matter once this flop hits; I don't think you can bet/fold given the stacks, and you can't check/fold. If he has a Q, you're going broke anyway.

Therefore, the proper thing to do is probably to encourage JJ to stay in by betting a little and letting him all-in himself.

The open raise by MP2 is a little strange. 4 folds to him and he raises 10x BB. It doesn't seem like he wants to see a caller here. Maybe that means he has AK or a pair JJ to 99, maybe AQ? FWIW, I might have have reraised all-in here just because I think anyone who opens for 10x BB is the kind who would call it anyways.

I like your all-in on the flop here. Anthing lower has to be much lower or you are leaving yourself with just a few chips. FWIW, I don't think that an ovepair is ever worth slow playing early in a SNG. I would go all-in since you are calling any bet anyways. The pot is a good size already and you really don't want to see any paint card (K aside) on the turn.

I push preflop (but only because his own raise was so big).

Thanks. This guy's got AcJc and I lose to the river ace, but it's not why the hand gives me concern, but I'm going to post the issue in the other 2-pair hand i posted.
