So... have I lost my mind?

Pretty easy fold IMO. He's not bluffing a missed draw here nearly enough to call.

Interesting hand.

It seems to me like a competent player would raise 66+ when folded to in the small blind here. If you take this assumption, the only part of his range that has you beat is 7x.

However, you can't really take this assumption. Villain might have limped with JJ+ preflop, afraid not to get action. And for all you know, he could have limped with 66+ too.

Seems like you are approaching the endgame of the tournament in not such a long time. If you fold this hand now, you still have a very nice stack. I'd say good fold. Use your chips to pwn the table while playing short handed right before the final table instead. This has more value IMO.

No. The only thing you beat here is a complete bluff or 22-44 not believing you've connected with the flop. Neither seem likely. Best case is a split pot. Your chips can be put to better use than risking them all for a minimal gain in the unlikely case of a split pot.

I think we're chopping most of the time here (who the hell is gonna push 2x on the river with quads.) That being said, I still think I fold, I don't think the t1800 we get if we split is worth risking our stack over.
