Default $22r JJ on the bubble

Villian had been pushing UTG a fair amount. Is this an easy fold, insta call? I thought long about this one.

PartyPoker $22 Regular Tournament, Big Blind is t600 (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

CO (t6290)
Button (t4545)
Hero (t7420)
BB (t1745)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="red">CO raises to t6290 (All-in)</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="gray">Hero?</font>

unless hes pushing pretty tight (which youd need a read for i would assume), call.

Nobody had called any of his pushes. It wasn't every time, but it was often enough to make a call worth considering. That's why I thought quite awhile before I made a decision. Stack size of course made a huge impact on my decision.

initially i thought shorty might make this a tight decision but SNGPT likes a call from most decent villains pushing ranges here.

If he has a brain you should be behind his range but that is a lot to assume at this level. He should be pushing a lot but since he is pushing through a deeper stack on this hand he should be playing pretty conservatively. He could easily make a smaller raise with say TT and fold to your push. Fold, if he has a brain.

im fairly certain "having a brain" here may very well constitute a looser pushing range, as he is trying to exploit your conservative play with shorty still around, making this a call. definitely semi-read based....

Definitely not an insta-call. I'd only call QQ+ here, but JJ should be okay too.
