    Uhm, I would shove. I know we are getting called by alnyc, but Idk, a 3-bet from the SB against the btn really doesn't scare me enough to give up JJ. Also, we obv should not be playing to just get into the money here, but we do anyway most likely even if we lose the hand. Because this is the bubble it might tighten alnyc's range, or it might even loosen it up. I guess you read is that he plays straightforward, so if we assume the bubble doesn't affect his range at all, it's a shove.
