CO is a crazy player who does crazy plays. I have position on him and looking to take his stack with a great hand.

BB is a decent reg as far as I can tell.

I am set mining with JJ, and concerned with the call of BB on the flop.
On the river, I think the reg with call a decent bet with top pair, but not all in. Is the sizing OK for you, or is all in preferable ?

What better will fold, what worse will call?
Better hands could be 5-, 6- or 7-high straights and a set of Kings. Of those only the 5-high straight will fold, and 62 and 76 are unlikely holdings.
That leaves KK, which will never fold.

What worse will call? Kx and worse sets. Will they call a shove? Maybe, but I like your sizing here.

My only other comment is that I would raise pre-flop.

Bizarre hand? Post it in Hand of the Day!!

I have moved your hand to our hand discussion board. There fits it better.
Not sure about villains 5x open. If it's standard I would most likely go for a healthy 4bet to like 20bb out of position.
The rest seems pretty standard. I don't think you get called if you shoving against a decent player based on the pre-flop stats. Only a weaker set maybe,
