Fold without know this villain well.

He minraised and then shoved. That screams strength - he was hoping someone would reraise him. QQ+/AK.

Just looking at it and without ICM I would say fold here. 10 hands really isn't anything to base off of, and if he is shoving over a raise and a reraise, I would probably say his range is pretty tight. Maybe something like {QQ+, AJs+, AJo+}.

{JJ+,AJs+,AJo+} is the loosest he can be to make this call good imo (without doing ICM). So I think this is really marginal, but considering it is so early and you don't need to worry about losing the chips because you have a decent stack at the moment I cry and fold.

At this blind level I don't always re-raise preflop with JJ, I usually just flat call and play for set or overpair value.

As played, unless you have a read that MP2 is a maniac, I tend to fold here. Shoving over a raise and a re-raise shows tremendous strength.

I think you misread the HH, UTG+1 minraised, Hero re-raised and MP2 shoved over. Still doesn't change the answer though IMO.

If no min raise in front, would you open raise it?

Every time. Actually since this is just a minraise I don't mind re-raising here because we aren't building a huge pot, and there is a risk that you get lots of callers after you if you just flat call.

I dont like this line here, you have minraise before and 5 people left to act, unless someone reraises you will probably find yourself in 4 way pot, which is very tough to play for overpair value, I think you are losing a lot of value out of your JJ, I would reraise it anytime.

Yep, villian is short stacked but not desperate yet, I tend to give him the benefit of the doubt and fold here
