Hypothetical Situation

I just had a question if a certain situation were to arise. Lets say for example that you buy in for $200 at a 1/2 game and there are relatively no short stacks...

you have JJ in the BB and its a ten handed table, someone from second position leads out $15 and lets say 7 people call him simply because after the previous person called, the pot odds were getting better so everyone wanted to get in the pot. Now the action comes back to you and there's roughly $100 in the pot already...

Do you think moving all-in here is a good play?

well, sounds like everyone else will fold regardless, so if the guy who raised is loose, move in, if hes tight call out for a set

All you're worried about is the first position raiser. He's pretty much calling you with anything that beats you and folding anything that doesn't. Instead of the raise all in why not raise $50-100 on top that way you are represnting a big hand and if the original raiser moves all in you can save yourself half your stack.
