Just play as what you feel like, in the micro millions i tends to take some money out of the bank and use it for fun and play like a crazy donkey hoping to hit the jackpot but it never does sadly still i have fun at the events but every year i lose some money at this time of the year because of the micro millions, i play just a few events but with huge buyings compare to my rolls, i think i should play more tables with less buyins. Anyway shits happens and hopefully you get a good run and what happened, you win?

In general JJ is the worst hand for me in terms of winning hands going all in preflop. I have more success with lower hands than JJ. You got even with your two all ins You won the first one on river and lost it afterwards. Better luck next time.

Why would you put them on 5-6%? That's far too tight, especially in the 2nd hand. In the first hand as well, the raise can be just an iso-raise, doesn't necessarilyhave to be a top hand, a raise also makes sense with A9 there for him. In the 2nd hand villain should be opening down to hands like T9s, all depending on table dynamics obv, but by default it'd be the case.
Setmining is IMO out of question, in both hands the effective stacks are too shallow to play the hand solely to setmine. Plus, we are ahead of both ranges, and the deadmoney is already very attracting for our stack.
The only thing we can do except shoving is 3betting small and try to get villain to spew off. However, if villain is horrible chances are he's gonna flat us and we have to play it out postflop, which is not what I'd like to achieve with JJ and such stacks.
