Stars $3-$6 - That wasn't supposed to happen

This table was pretty good. The big blind (who was largely irrelevant in this hand) had turned $120 into $1800 in the space of about 30 hands playing a masterful 50/20 game. The cut off was extremely passive and apart from playing 30/6 i hadn't really noticed much about him.

The button however seemed to know what he was doing, my stats said i had played 200 hands with him but apart from this session i don't remember playing with him before. He was running at 24/23, was pretty aggressive and quite good at exerting pressure. A few hands before i had stacked him on KQ8 flop in a 88 v AK confrontation, but apart from that no other hand between us has got past the flop; villain is PrimogenitoX.

I was pretty sure that if it was checked to PrimogenitoX he would bet and i could raise. So when i check raised i was smugly congratulating myself on my brilliance when i realised that both guys had JAMmed - this was not what i was expecting.

If it was just me and the button i would instacall. If it was just me and the cutoff, i would also instacall. If i started with 100bbs, i would probably call (albeit somewhat reluctantly). But two players and 133bbs, is it still a call?
