Hi all,

Make it 120 preflop and call the shove. As played it's no different.

Hello,

why to make it 120? Doesn't it give too good odds to others possible Ax? If I did my math right, you'll have a Q, K or A about 40% of the time.

Since it's hard to play JJs once an overcard is there, isn't it better to stick to 180?

With these stacksizes you don't want to make it any more preflop. If people want to call their bad Qx/Kx hands and try hit for the 120 price, then their mistake is plenty big regardless, given that you will win money from them when they miss very often. Also if they want to play bad Qx/Kx hands they will lose more money when they hit their lower card.
