ITM JJ from UTG+1 after PFR
 

This is from memory as I can't find the HH. 10+1 semi-turbo tourney. 13 left, Hero is 3rd in chips. We are ITM, but top 5 is where the nice money starts. Stacks best I can remember:

UTG 10BB
Hero 12BB
BB 10BB
The SB has about 2 BB's left after posting, and the other 3 at the table all have around 6 BB's left.
Chip leaders are at the other table with about 20 BB's and 16 BB's. I am in third at the moment.

I am UTG+1 with JJ. UTG opens for 3 BB's. Hero???

All in baby. While you're 3rd in chips it looks like everyone has a real short stack. You're either 6 or 7 handed as well which makes this raise not really as strong as a full handed game. Sometimes you get unlucky and he has a bigger pair, but thats poker.

push.. Turbos suck that way at the FT because you don't have much room to play post-flop.. I always find myself in a turbo situation where I can fold to a higher spot.. but I myself only have like 5-10BB's so only way to play is to play for first

What should be my pushing range in this situation, 7-handed?

TT+, AQ+???

1) Swallow hard.

2) Close your eyes and say a quick prayer.

3) Push.

4) Don't open your eyes until you hear chips sliding, whatever direction they happen to be going this time.

PS. SB may easily get seduced by his "pod odds" and call with anything remotely decent, so he could potentially be great overlay.
