Overcallers aren't a big problem, because they all are shortstacked. How is your hand doing vs top 10%? If it has enough eq, call. If it isn't, fold.

You have to call 22,500 to win (22,500 + 1,600 + 800 + (125 x 9 = 1125)) = 26,025, so 22,500 / (22,500 + 26,025) = 46,37% equity is needed to call.

He prolly doesn't do this with AA-QQ and you have a J blocker so JJ is very unlikely, so if we give him TT-22, ATs+, KQs and AJo+, we have 42,16% equity w/ AJo. If you put in some random stuff and a couple more Ax hands, you're getting about the right price to play. But in a $3 tourney with our stacksize and with four players to act behind, I'd be fine with folding this. I don't think you have to take such marginal spots in a $3 tourney where the field is so soft when you have a 60x stack. AJs has 45% equity, which makes it a lot closer against the fairly tight range that we gave V, but it's still the very bottom of my range in this spot. If the tourney was a lot tougher ($22 tourney table full of regulars, for example), I'd be much more inclined to take the spot.

Like this ^ but don't think we can so just throw out AA-JJ, some realise that just raising and not shoving does look pretty nutted here. With that said looks like a fold if the above is correct.
