1st hand of the SnG I think, zero info on villan:

PokerStars - 10/20 Ante 3 NL - Holdem - 9 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 1,500
SB: 1,500
BB: 1,500
UTG: 1,500
UTG+1: 1,500
MP: 1,500
Hero (MP+1): 1,500
MP+2: 1,500
CO: 1,500

9 players post ante of 3, SB posts SB 10, BB posts BB 20

Pre Flop: (pot: 57) Hero has J♣ J♠

fold, fold, MP raises to 40, Hero raises to 120, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, MP calls 80

Flop: (297, 2 players) 6♦ 5♠ 2♣
MP checks, Hero bets 140, MP raises to 433, Hero?

Well you don't fold. JJ has some merit in both shove and call. Basically higher my pocket more happy I am just calling as overcards are less likely. But yeah I probably would call pretty much any turn if just calling but I would likely just shove flop.

We are mostly behind sets. Any two pair or straight is unlikely and there is fair chance bigger overpairs would just 4bet preflop. Villain might be making some optimistic bluff or has some A6 or 88 and overplays it.

I would most likely go for it on the flop. Villain shouldn't defend with small pocket pairs in a 3bet pot out of position for set value for 75bb effective.

Based on the call20 rule you need to have 1.600 effective behind if you call 80 chips for set value. It's hard to play small pocket pairs post-flop if you doesn't hit a set in a 3bet pot.
