8075 in the pot, 5300 to call, assuming i've done the math right. You need to win 40% of the time to call.

If you limit his range to 88+,AQs+,AQo+, then its a fold. Drop it to 77+ or worse, add in AJ, KQ, or anything else, and its a call. Give him like 66+, AJ+, KQ and its a no brainer call. I'd assume you need an incredibly good read that the guy never, ever defends his blinds to consider folding.

Why are you crying. Very easy call. You are ahead most of the time plus pot odds. Expect to see random suited cards, small pairs, aces and so on sometimes. The play at this stage of a $30r is aggressive, and I would expect to see a resteal as often as the hands you are afraid of, AK and QQ-AA.

Save your fist pump for when he shows AJo. Very easy call. No brainer. I like the raise to induce a resteal. Mission accomplished. Time to put that beautiful hand on the felt and hope for the best. If he has AK, backdoor flush/straight him, type in "nice bluff, donk" in the chatbox.
