Live $20, JJ midway

[topsoyale]

Midway through the tournament, about 25 of the 68 runners have been eliminated.

I haven't played too many hands yet so my stack is just under average - I have 4500, average is around 5500, with blinds at 75/150.

Two folds from early positions and third player raises to 500, I look down to find JJ in fourth position. First question what should I do here?

I think raising is probably best to drive out other opponents yet to act, but,
I elect to just call thinking I'll evaluate flop.

Folds round to BB who goes all-in for 2500. The player in third thinks for a while before folding.

Action on me?

Risk now and try to build stack against possible ak, or a similar coinflip situation?
Or does this indicate a bigger hand and I'm best off getting out of the way?

re raise. Against most players you are re raising for value, I guess if they guy is super tight you could fold to a push from there.

as played, call.

call. and raise to begin with.

Yeah, hard to say without any other info on the players. I think I like a raise preflop, and definitely call the push. What do you know about the other players? In most of the live games I play, I am loving to call a push with JJ.
