Re: all-in against my JJ
You should have pushed pre-flop. JJ is a strong hand shorthanded and you only have 6XBB. The rule of thumb is that anytime you have less than 10XBB you should push if you're going to enter the pot.
As for whether or not to call the raise, I say yes. You didn't say what the entry was and that (in my opinion) slightly affects my decision. If it's a larger buy-in I would put UTG+1 on a smaller range of hands. With the smaller buy-in online tournaments, he could be going all-in with lots of hands - any pair, AK, AQ, even AJ. There are only 3 hands that your a dog to and they represent a fairly small percentage of the hands he could have.
But the bottom line was when you're this shortstacked, push with such a strong hand and hope for the best. You need to make a move and that was the hand to do it on.
