Poker Stars $25.00+$2.50 No Limit Hold'em Tournament – t1000/t2000 Blinds + t250 – 9 players.

loopycow (UTG): BB = 2.8, t5632
otavioMNY (UTG+1): BB = 25.6, t51226
InS0MnI1 (UTG+2): BB = 20.1, t40126
southrnctowl (MP1): BB = 11.6, t23264
lexthedog203 (MP2): BB = 31.3, t62689
mistasizzlak (CO): BB = 6.5, t12996
CabecaCoro (BTN): BB = 33.0, t66024
Hero (SB): BB = 30.5, t61066
neldog59 (BB): BB = 14.9, t29893

Pre Flop: (t5250) Hero is SB with J of hearts K
loopycow raises to t5382 all in, 6 folds, Hero calls t4382, neldog59 raises to t29643 all in, 1 fold

I a flat in the SB sub-optimal? I did this, because the BB was really tight and I was pretty sure he would only shove 99/TT+ AJs+. Is this just on the edge to a shove or a definitly shove no matter how our perception of the BB is?

I made a lot of nitty folds in this tourney, I wonder if I've become too scared since some bad variance has hit me deep /bevore FT a lot lately.

Do you think that the BB is going to shove that range against both you're call and against a raise? i wouldn't shove KJs here but could be way off with that. I'd be inclined to raise fold if hes really that nitty but if u think that a calls doing the same as the raise will do then raising is just wasting chips but that seems like a very very tight range for raising over you since calling from the sb seems really weak but stack sizes are awkward to me that raise folding with 30bb could be terrible.

The way this is played id def be folding as JK is doing rubbish against the BB range even with it being a bit looser
