Playing at a home MTT... how to play JJ

[skierdude1000]

Tourny works like this:
Start with 4 tables of 9 at 20-40 blinds and 2370 chips
Play until 4 people left at each table
Merge into 2 tables of 8 players each and start with 30-60 blinds
Play until 4 people left at each table and then merge that into a final table of 8 (only final table gets money)

So I'm at the second table:
50-100 blinds (blinds go up every 25-50 minutes, allows for a lot of play)
i got 2800 chips
7 Players left, 3 more until the money,

UTG folds
UTG+1 folds
MP whoose loose agressive raises to 300, he has about 4000 chips
MP+1 calls for 300 (he's tight passive)
i have JJ in the CO
i push allin with JJ










End result:
lose to MPs KK after MP+1 folded


How was my play here?

I was contemplating just calling and seeing a flop, but decided I'd either take the pot or hope to double up.
Blinds weren't threatening, so I'm thinking my play was bad, but I think my opinion may be results oriented.

Either a smaller raise to see where you are at or just a call. I don't think I would have pushed in your stack position.

Then again, I don't play JJ very well either (see my post in MTT) :P

I don't think Phil Ivey would have a problem with that play...

"Before you know it Kanter and Ivey are both all in, with pocket kings (Kc-Ks) for Kanter, and pocket jacks (Jd-Jc) for Ivey."

It's a little bit of a kneejerk isn't it, to just outright push? Come over the top for like 900 instead of committing every chip you have when you're vulnerable to 3 overcards.
