Yeah with your stack I'm folding. You're flipping or worse here almost always and you don't need to be gambling like that right now with the chips you have.

how small does your stack have to be to call here? 1350 or so?

if you're ~10BB this would be a push so you wouldn't have to worry about calling

no point getting involved in this pot w/ your stack. The under 10 BB rule is a good one here to consider.

um, pushing= calling in this case. look at the action in front. In this hand I probably fold, its close tho. def call QQ.

This is an easy fold, an ep raise and an all-in rereaise. You're rarely ahead here.

Raise to T400 from EP and save yourself 50 chips. Since JJ is at the bottom of your raising range, its about the only hand that you can fold when you raise from UTG. You're obv calling with AK, QQ+. I don't think you should be raising AQ here most of the time. Sometimes maybe AQs, which would be a fold in this case as well.
With the smaller preflop raise, you'll feel better about folding, and maybe, just maybe, get action on your monsters a little bit more.
