    This hand always leads to tough decisions ! I dont know at what stage of a tourny you are and how your stack is against the leaders. It has to be a fold really playing it 3ways probably 4ways BUT the odds you are getting are so good ! Particularly if it will would put you in with a good chance of winning the tourny. Definitely play it in a bounty hunter !
    Had the same hand in a similar spot in a biggish tourny recently and shoved. Ended up ideal against AK AK and 77, and took it down.

    Unless its a deepstack presuming youve got about starting stack and the table hasn,t been really tight i,m calling and hoping for a few aces out - its to gudda chance to get a mega stack at this stage of the game and you can start thinking of going  deep if this holds up

    i wouldnt to be fair only because i will be trying to duck soooo many cards with 5 cards to come. at best you are racing at worst dominated by overpairs. i would wait for a better spot, but im nitty so its just a personal opinion.

    You've still got a >100 BB stack if you fold, for me it's a snap fold after a reraise, shove and then a CALL of the shove....

    People will play a wider range in bounty hunter events, often trying to take down pots with any pocket pair, knowing they are quite likely to be racing.

    Also you have two of your potential opponents outchipped, and if it is fairly deep in the event their head values add to your odds.

    The one thing I would never do in that spot with JJ is call, its shove or nothing. If you end up 4 handed the odds are great, and if you only have one caller it still leaves your hand with showdown value with a king or queen on the board.

    Snap fold and expect to see them flip over AA and KK. Kick something very hard if all 3 guys get their chips in the middle with the same hand; AK.

    I'd only consider joining this shove-fest if it was a freeroll or Facebook.
