$300 live tournament pre flop multi-way all in spot

I think JJ should be a rejam in the first place. Especially to shut out AQ and maybe even AK.

Those will both be in a rejamming range, as will QQ-AA of course, but possibly some smaller pairs like 88-TT.

Yup. Flatting and folding is a disaster. Rejam to avoid the difficult decision and for protection (puts them in the decision making seat with AQ for example). Can possibly be called by worse (TT, AQ, AK). Very standard rejam spot.

easiest rejam pre, would be a bit different if we are in earlier positions but vs co 8bb jam and we at sub 30bb its just such a clear rejam.
v2 range is AQs+ JJ+ which is pretty tight, considering we talking bout a middle aged woman.
your flat looks really weak and strong at the same time, if I would be the villain in this case I would be very confused.

If you are calling to give yourself room to fold then you have to fold against somebody who jams for more than your stack.

Personally with JJ I would jam with 27 bb's after an 8 bb preflop open jam. We should have an edge and there is no reason to play this against a BB who might call with hands like KQ/AXs/KTs/QTs type hands where it makes flops with any A/K/Q virtually impossible to play especially OOP.

If we lose so be it.

I would add that given that I would never be in this position I would have a hard time folding. We are getting basically 2:1 pot odds and my guess is we have over 33% equity (probably close to 37%) even if Villain's range is QQ+/AK.

I like to re raise small in this spot trying to clear out the rest of the field. Generally, I am pot committed if someone behind me shoves.

As played here, if your logic was to fold to a shove, the player, as you described, is exactly the player I would not regret finding the fold against.

As played, I did fold, she had AKo and CO had T9o. I wonder how she would have played vs my jam. Appreciate everyone's feedback

Her thinking, or mine would be in her position, is that you have shown weakness, not strength, by merely calling and she doesn’t really care if you call or fold. If you fold, she is getting 3-1 pot odds in what is normally a coin flip and if you call, she is still normally flipping against you in the side pot that makes up for her losses in the main pot.

The reason I like to min raise the shove is it looks like you want a side pot in addition to the main pot and you can basically create the image that you are essentially all in (as you are pot committed) without having all your chips in the middle yet. Strange **** happens in live poker, like people will flip their cards early….
