Villain puts me all in - Whats my play? Top 36 got paid....

any reads on the villian.... raise since ur in positiobn .. you could probably rule out a 2 cause he just wouldnt go all in with it... if you call you got outs plenty of outs.. he could have a weak 6 so u could have as much as 15 outs and as little as 8 (if he has a deuce) and would have a very nice chip stack ... if you play to win that is... if u want to move up in the money standings you could fold

What is the average stack size? Is the payout structure a flat rate for 36-27, 27-18, 17-9, with top 9 getting most of the money?

[Vertical Taco]

Average stack is around 70k
Flat payout

36-28 = 180(?)
27-19 = 290(?)
18-10 = 450(?)

and final table goes up in increments...no reads on villain...everyone was moving tables....

instacall You're < 1/2 the average stack and a fair bit away from the next payout bubble. You need to make a move and you can beat a pure bluff as well as improve against many better hands...

I'm calling because you're about 50/50 on odds here and you need to make a move. Your king will probably scoop, so will any club. Your 8 might even scoop it.

I think I'm calling here. Especially because I see a lot of lovely J Highs when I do.
