I initally put in my first post 'there's no point calling preflop if your folding that flop.' I'm not too sure now. Does villain do this with KJ,77-JJ, flush draw etc here enough for hero to call this? And as for your comment about it being like 200/400 blind levels, its not the same as a bigstack has already shown decent interest in the pot.

Jay, reread my post. I said the reward was the equivalent of the 200/400 blind level. I said you have access the risk based on your read.

I think equating it with blind levels is a bad way of thinking about it. At 800/1600 blinds I am calling pushes with AK almost all the time. If someone open pushes during level 1 I fold almost all the time. Here having 40 BB instead of 10 BB makes a huge difference to me.

Without knowing anything about this player (does he routinely open for 5bb, is he agressive post flop,...) it is hard to say how you should play this hand.
