At the table seemed like a good push, analising my hands post-session I see the short stack on the table and think this is a godd call or just fold.

Blinds:100/200
Stacks:
UTG - UTG (T3,188)
BTN - BTN (T980)
SB - Hero (T2,557)
BB - BB (T8,275)

Preflop: (T380, 4 players) Hero is SB with J♥ J♣
UTG raises to T420, 1 fold, Hero raises to T2,537 (all-in), 1 fold, UTG calls T2,137, Uncalled bet of T20 returned to Hero

Flop: A♥ K♣ 9♣ (T5,354, 2 players)

Turn: Q♥ (T5,354, 2 players)

River: 2♠ (T5,354, 2 players)

Total Pot: T5,354

Calling is newer a option here with only a 12bb stack.
I expect you have a +ev shove with JJ here, because you have a lot of fold equity and even against his calling range JJ isn't in bad shape.

Yeah, calling here is never an option.
But now I really believe that the fold is the better choice when there is a guy just that much shortstacked.
He would be shoving really wide here, specially on the button, and on those cases he would be against the big stack on the BB.
Should have noticed it on the table.

I have checked this hand with SNG wiz and it does tell me that this is a fold considering the shortstack.
It suggests that here you should be pushing only with KK+

Awesome, thanks diminem.
I used to play a lot of MTTs back in 2010 and was always more agressive on bubbles so I have to adjust at these situations on these SNGs.
I am thinkig about starting a blog and focus more on my poker game, just need to sort some things out.

Interesting to know how wide UTG called on you're 3bet shove in SNG Wizard. He should fold a lot as well.
