    any reads on villain like, is he a maniac that shoves his stack into anyone with atc? seems like an easy fold 150bb deep. Unsure about villains range here but you obv. have an edge against him because he's pot betting with a very polarized range here. ( aka Jx or nothing.)

    was only 3 or 4 hands into the tourney so no reads, tho i think if i had a read that he was a maniac shoving any two it would still be hard to call/shove with two to act behind me that could be slow playing jx

    Hmm, I like a fold here. Actually, by calling your getting value town'd most of the time and shoving is turning your hand into a bluff. fold and get a better spot. don't risk your tournament live on this one put a note on villain that he pot betted multi way with JJx flop. If you see him do something strange later on, stack off light.

    Raise more pre, you only make it less than 2x pot when it gets to you and that is too small imo. I would go to 475 - 500 here, you do not want to play KK against multiple opponents and you still have people to act after you.

    You are happy to get into a raising war pre, so bet more.

    As played, I don't like the fold either. If villain has Jx or 88 then he is much more likley to check than bet.

    I would shove in your position although can see the merits of a flat as long as you are now committed to it.

    ugh, don't like the fold at all, just get it in here. Really unlikely he pots it with Jx, and I'm often expecting him to show up with a pocket pair or A8 here.

    Also, more pre, at least 500 imo, and possibly even just shove, cos three people have already put in 3bb and people are so dumb in $5 donkaments and will call super light for another ~150bb
