Situation in live tournament. 10handed table.
Blinds 25/50. Hero has about 1800 chips.

Hero holds J 8 in the BB. 4 other players limp in.

On the flop: K J J

Hero bets 200, 3 players fold, villain goes all-in (about 3000 chips).
Villain is pretty tight player.

What is the right play here? Would it be better to just check on the flop?

I would fold this in this stage... You have good stack to play with. He might have QJ, JT, J9, never J7,J6,J5.. I dont see any card you beat. KQ? Maybe but i dont thinks so he will go allin with this hand.

why would he go all in if he got Jx here? 3k shove to win 450 ?(
imo he got Kx or QT, maybe smaler pocket or flush draw couse we dont know is there any flush on board.
i like to bet out to on that board and i'm caling that shove

Yeah agree i thought about that but maybe he was scared about draws, i dont know. Hero bets for 4 players, he must have a hand. Villain is tight. Maybe weak tight who dont want to play postflop and finish this hand right here right now...


call :)
it makes no sense to shove with a strong J here because he should get value out of a hand as strong as this.
maybe he has AA and is now scared and wants to shove.
maybe ha has a king, maybe QT
i call here because his play makes absolut no sense AND your stack isnt that big anymore.
