Here with our hand we obviously raise UTG. When the short stack calls there are plenty of hands he could have. However when we are 3bet the decision is difficult. I can't call since there is another player to worry about and I am not sure if I can stack off with JJ in this position. I don't have enough hands on either player for 3bet stats to be of any value (~50 hands, if I recall right), and I've not seen either 3bet or get 3bet so far. Is there any other option than to fold here?

CO ($25)
Button ($25)
SB ($19.25)
BB ($50.30)
Hero (UTG) ($47.30)
UTG+1 ($36.90)
MP1 ($6.70)
MP2 ($5.15)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with J, J
Hero raises to $1, 1 fold, MP1 calls $1, 3 folds, SB raises to $4, Hero... ?

 I wouldn't worry about the shorty at all, he probably has crap.

You could call and play poker post flop. He'd have to be pretty nitty for 3betting to $10 and stacking off to be wrong.

ez call imo
you have more than 33% equity against the shorty and the other player
if the shorty folds you still had pot odds to call even though you're probably a coinflip against his 3b range because the shorty contributed his moneys
