MTT Poker Hand Analysis: Jacks UTG – Making the Right Decision

The following hand occurred during a live MTT (buy-in: €200):

Stack of players involved:
You are UTG: 260k
Player on Hijack: 900k
Players in SB: 350k

Information about the tournament:
35 minute levels
8-max
Startdotation: 50k
You are in Day 2 and already ITM. There are 83 players left and you have €500 fixed. From 71st place there is €600, from 63rd place there is €700, from 55th place there is €800, etc.

Information about your opponents:
Player on Hijack: He plays a lot of hands and he has already 3-betted a few times. In the 2 showdowns you saw, he showed KK once and AK once.
Player in SB: He plays in late position as first-in many hands. You won a smaller pot with AJ against his queens a few hands earlier.

On an 8-max table you raise with UTG to 30k with blinds 7k/14k/BB ante 14k. The player on the hijack reraises to 105k and the player on the SB pushes all-in.

I now have the following questions for you:
1.) What are you doing with the Jacks?
2.) What range do you give your opponents?
3.) What is your opinion on a possible open push with JJ as a UTG player with your stack at these blinds?
