Nah I don't think you can flat here. I maybe 3 bet call a shove in case the SB wakes up with a hand but I'm not flatting JJ since an overcard comes out a big percent of the time and then you're just guessing.

Any reads?

Without reads I'm shoving but it's not a fist pump. You're still ahead of his range here though.

You can't 3-bet cause of your stack size so your decision is push or fold. I would just play it the same as you unless UTG+1 was extremly nitty.

the bottom line here is! if you lose it is just a cooler. the play is to jam. he has 18 bbs to start the hand and if you flat you invite the blinds to make a play and there stacks are very awkward for your stack and the hand you hold. what sucks is piracicaba is representing a strong hand by opening a hand with under twenty bbs but you are most likely ahead of his range. my advice is to never get tricky in this spot with a hand like JJ. the only other option is to fold flatting is never an option here and obv folding here would only happen here if you felt this player was a complete nit and that my friend is read dependant. wp imo
