Default $60 Time to call, or is it?

No reads on villain, except he hasnt done anything to stand out.

My stack will be very comfortable if I win this, and I'm definetly not dead if I lose.

PokerStars $55+5 Tournament, Big Blind is t150 (6 handed)

UTG (t3245)
UTG+1 (t1175)
Hero (t2800)
Button (t1570)
SB (t3185)
BB (t1525)

Preflop:Hero is in CO with Jh Ad
UTG folds,
UTG+1 folds,
Hero raises to t375,
Button raises to t1570 (All-in),
SB folds,
BB folds,
Hero ...

Fold. At best you're flipping. A lot of times here you will just be dominated.

Yeah... maybe if he were first to act I'd consider a call based on reads, etc., but since you already showed some strength his raise has got to mean something big, and even if it means only something only medium you're still in a coin flip situation. Give this one up.

As everyone else said, fold. Put yourself in the button's shoes. The most he could reasonably be pushing is 22+, A8+, KQ. Against even that range, you're a good bit behind, and that range is significantly looser than most. 77+, AT+ is probably the absolute most I'd push here, and that range is crushing you.
