Call...even if he has AK here, you're calling 2100 to win 4500+...so you're getting odds to call even dominated. Obviously QQ+ is disasterous, but I'm still calling here.

Really need to include reads. But I couldn't imagine his range being any wider than JJ+,AK.

You are getting 2.48:1 which means it's a call even though you are only 28% to win the hand.

As stated already, easy call, and without reads Id personally widen his range a touch. In a BSB battle a lot of times people wont let go of 88+ to a re-raise from the blinds, which would make the call even clearer. Would imagine then that this should be a shove preflop?

Yeah my range should be widen. I didn't look at stack sizes that closely the first time and thought you were deeper.

its very en vogue these days to reraise from the blinds when faced with a button raise, with almost any ace or pair, and maybe even more junk in low stakes tourneys, which is why youll often find that if call all in here, you will often be even money to win, and sometimes up against a lower suited Ace or something like that

Easy call because your getting such great odds. Because of that, I like reshoving AI in the first place
