Do you like my line here with JJ?

Home tournament. I've got around T800. in EP my friend makes it T50 (blinds 5/10) to go. For a number of reasons, I'm pretty sure he's got AQ or AJ. There's two very lose players to act after me and two very tight ones.

I smooth call, my thinking being that the two loose players will call, and if the flop comes jack high or lower, the original better will push to steal the pot and I can call and bust him (he's got around T700).

Your thoughts?

Nudge?

I like your play if you are willing to fold if an over card does hit.

Sounds like a great situation for you. 50% or so of the time you will not see an A, K or Q on the flop and you said that he would do you the favor of putting all his chips in so you would just have to call. Assuming he just has overcards you will be about 75% to win. Sounds good to me. You might also end up with a loosie calling the allin as well thinking the pot is too big to pass up on.
