Does she make this play with AJ?

If so, call.

If not, fold.

If you had AK this is a call though.

If she's that tight/dumb, then fold and it's not even close.

If someone limps JJ from the button, does an overbet push means AK, QQ-AA? People don't tend to overbet push monsters.

At best your probably looking at two high cards ten and up when the villain flips over her hand. Even that beind said, if it is a coin flip you are getting the right odds to play. If she has AA, KK, QQ then you are in big trouble. Not only that but any standard raise from her would commit her to the pot if she also bet/called on the flop so this move isn't that out of the ordinary. Her stack also is between 5 and 10 Ms so she needs to make a move. With all that being said if you call her and lose you will be knocked down to about ~15 Ms.

At one point or another your going to have to knock her out to win and keep accumulating chips. The question is do I want to risk a lot to be probably be in a race situation and my final answer is no. I will watch her a little more and try to pick up some more information on her. If her stack was a little shorter then I would call her. The main reason is if you call and lose then you are inching closer to the danger zone once the blinds move you.

Fold is a very good option. I doubt villain pushes 15 BB's with air, or much that you are beating.

Against a good player, this is an easy call, as the push could be any pp except those that dominate AQ, as well as a lot of high card hands, most of which you are ahead of.

If villain is very tight, the situation is more problematical.

You're M is quite high it seems, it looks like almost even money... I'd base it on the players M, their previous pushes if any... You need to accumulate chips to win this tournament, and 6 handed this generally sounds like a good hand to call the all in given your M...plus you're getting 11:10 on a call... hopefully the BB doesn't wake up with a hand (very unlikely) either cause they've almost got you covered!
