Open fold JJ here?

[Gamblor]

18 left, live $500 tournament.

Pay structure is top-heavy, with 70% of money going to first 3 spots, only 4 more spots pay.

I'm 3rd biggest stack at the table with T33,000.

Blinds 1500-3000. I've raised 3x this orbit and stolen the blinds with marginal hands.

9 handed. I'm UTG with JJ, biggest stack in the tournament, an intelligent but slightly too loose player is in the BB. Most stacks are between 15000-25000.

Standard raise = 3x the blinds.

What's the play?

raise and call an all-in

Wrong forum?

But it seems to me like your stack is not particularly large in comparison to the others at the table. Keep on "stealing". Be willing to back the Js with your stack.

Oops.

raise/push and hope the BB gets intelligent on us and calls with 55.
