The fold looks too nitty. You can call and play postflop in position I guess. He can have something like AJ+, TT+ even worse.

I don't think folding here readless is too nitty at all. In my experience, people don't squeeze terribly wide at this juncture of the tourney at low stakes out of the SB. I don't like flatting either. SPR is gonna be around 2 post (less if MP3 comes along), so position won't really be much of an advantage, and we're essentially not gonna like any non-J flop unless we're checked to, so I'm not too sure what we're hoping to have happen by calling?

Squeezing is a play that we can do with much wider range especially when we are against players who are folding too much. Ofc he can have strong range here and doing this for value, but sometimes we will be against hands that we dominate like TT or AJ, hands that are perfect for squeezing here.
Yeah playing JJ vs 2 players is not a dream situation but sometimes we can hit our set, if not - still we can win the pot postflop. Most of the mtt micro players are not very good postflop in general.
