Default 200 - calling 40BB pushes

Villain is at the table for ~20hands. Done nothing too remarkable so far (32/20). Once raised AQo and pushed over a min 3-bet for his stack (30BB), lost and rebought for ~80.

How crazy is my call here?

SB ($78.05)
Hero ($226.05)
UTG ($211.15)
MP ($201)
Button ($122.95)

Preflop: Hero is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

it's really not. donks tend to do this with small pairs and AQ kind of crap that they limped the first time around. would you call with 88? i would, but the difference between JTs and 88 isn't huge against a typical 40bb range.

if these guys are doing this a ton, having all these baby pots raked for 5% hurts the overlay created by our initial raise, but i really like to knock these 40bb idiots off the table.

not horrible, but couldn't we pick a better spot to get all of our money in against monkey tilt, worse case though he doubles up and you probably win it back anyways but i mean your usually always a 2 to 1 dog on this, but then again who loses coinflips nowadays?

actually i called expecting to be a (small) favourite 90% of the time. While contemplating the call i remembered a hand discussed here 3 weeks ago about calling a push 100BB deep with J9s.
but i agree, this call is probably a little bit too much on the 'gogogo' side.

the J9s call sucked and the pot odds in this hand are different.

i do think the preflop raise kind of sucks. i'd much prefer KJ+ to be doing this. i think people's distaste for the raise is biasing their analysis of the call, which i think is fine
