Presented with this situation, all in or fold? only 2 options really. Before DivsDreams reraised I had an idea of how I was gonna play this hand but his raise put me in a spot. The more I look at it the more I think fold.  I feel like people well tell me off what I ended up doing. ( all in...)  Ah well, live and learn.

Yeah in a satellite (or any MTT actually) it's a clear fold imo.

Thanks Lambert. JJ is a strange hand for me as I am never sure what to do it with it. As it turns out I was against AQ and AK which was the best I couuld hope for, unfortunately AQ got there with a Q high straight so busto for me. 

Need to practice satellites more. Do you have any advice for this style of MTT?

yeah easy fold, you have no fold equity by shoving and no point hoping for a flip, especially when the blinds are so low. to ever consider shoving you need to be sure that the villain is playing super loose and doing the same with 66/77/a10/aj etc
