If CO had folded, then this would essentially be a blind vs. blind spot, and folding JJ preflop for 31BB effective would be waaaaay to tight. The fact, CO limped and then cold called the jam from BB for essentially his entire stack, is pretty weird though, and its worth spending a bit of time thinking about, what that could mean. It could be the good old limp-trap with AA or KK, and in that case JJ is of course smoked, and you should fold.

However this is a very low buyin, and its part of SCOOP, so we should expect a lot of casual players to be taking part of this particular tournament. And for that reason we can not give credit to an unknown player for only having AA or KK, when he takes this line from CO. Recreational players will show up here with all sorts of hands, that they just wanted to see a cheap flop with. And when someone then jammed making that impossible, they went on tilt and called it off with their 44 or A8 offsuit just hoping to get lucky and suck out on the 3-bettor.

And for that reason there is not a chance in hell, I am ever folding JJ here. In a huge field tournament like this we also need to get in there and gamble to have any chance of reaching the top prices. Which should be the only reason, why we ever play in an event like this rather than the daily 2,2$ "big", 2$ "on demand" SnG or other smaller events. If we are just playing to min-cash, then a tournament like this with 20.000 participants is totally pointless and a waste of time.
