tricky MTT spot in the small blind holding JJ.

[Chapman]

Any thoughts welcome on what you might do in this particular spot I found myself in playing the $55+$5/12k gtd MTT on Betfair the other night. It's the last hand before the first break, 100 players or so remain (170 odd started) with 18 paid and I sit with a stack around average. I have zero info on the table as I'd just been moved a couple of hands previous.

I'd like to do this street by street (I'll post the next part later) because it was a spot I admit to being a bit uncomfortable with and I don't want the result to affect the thought process - we're OOP holding JJ in a multi limped pot, now what?

Re: tricky MTT spot in the small blind holding JJ. With no info on the table I am limping along too hoping to hit trips. I don't want to raise and be building a big pot when all I have is a mid-pair, and there's three players in the pot who have me covered. I don't want to fold - getting 11/1 to call and being just over 7/1 to flop a J.
