    Default JJ facing open and shortstack shove

    $400 1-day tournament at Borgata, 30-min blinds.

    Blinds are 4k/8k/1k antes

    70+-year-old guy opens in MP to 25K, shorty jams 110K right after him.

    I have JJ on BTN.

    Original raiser has 300K and I have 500K. 70 people left and 54 cash. Avg. stack probably 300K.
    Playing big pots at small stakes.

    I would probably quietly fold. Options seem to be fold or shove, and the latter seems like a gross risk considering we're over 100bb deep approaching bubble. I'm not really bothered if I dump 27bb here to the small stack, but old dude can put us right in the shit.

    What do we know about the old guy? He's not bad enough to call 77-TT and AJ here if we shove, is he? That might swing the deal. I'm happy to take risks if the rewards are high enough, and a 200bb ish stack appraoching bubble allows us to really loosen up and put lots of pressure on people.

    If old guy is solid, this seems like a super marginal spot and the reward for simply folding is to maintain a 100bb+ stack, which is still awesome.

    edit - sorry thought bb was 4k, but that's sb... derp

    idk, fold then I guess.
