squeezed w/ JJ in live 2/5

this hand seems kinda standard but i'm on an extended run-bad and questioning everything...

i start hand w/ 620. open UTG to 20 w/ JJ and 3 callers before it gets to button, a good tricky winning LAG. he makes it 105 w/ 395 behind. we have a lot of history. i often fold to his frequent 3-bets although we recently played a hand where i played back w/ AQ against his apparent squeeze from BB (and got stacked, oops).

one of the blinds surprisingly flats 105. i don't know him that well but i'd classify him as tight/clueless and i absolutely don't read strength. he has me covered. now there's about 290 in the pot.

i jam. i assume blind can't call and button's range includes a bunch of races and some air. button calls, blind thinks for a while (with what???) and folds. button has aces. ugh.

not crazy about my shove, but like the alternatives even less. thoughts?

What do you open UTG? I think you have a lot of things here pointing towards a shove. You have a whole whack of dead $$ and sounds like BTN understands the idea of aggression IP and how amazing it can be. If you are really really tight UTG though and he knows that then it becomes a lot more marginal for sure. Calling 3 callers is not an option for sure. Defo shove or fold. I chose shove personally if I was playing.

Just because he is good winning tricky LAG doesn't mean he 3 bet bluffing in this spot. Also to 3 bet bluff at low stakes you need a really really good spot, people get sticky with their hands.

At worst he has AK in this spot, you opened UTG and since is good, he has positional awareness. Unless you are opening 15%+ of your EP then he has no reason to think you have a weak range here.

Just because the blind is bad doesn't mean he doesn't have a hand here. He probably has 10's and QQ and AK a lot

well if you are really confident in your reads on villains 3B light a lot i guess jam is ok

BUT in the 2/5 NL games i play there is little to no light 3Bing from 99% of the player pool that i would be folding preflop in this spot very very often as i would expect to be facing QQ+ and sometimes AK

and of course when the SB flat i would expect that to also be a very strong range(JJ+/AK)
