SB is significant big stack, and has gotten there by raising and re-raising people off of hands, especially now that he's got almost everyone covered 3x over. He's shown down some Ax's etc, and clearly is bullying with more than the top hands, as he probably should be in this situation.
Knowing this, is JJ strong enough to make the push with, even though I'm 2nd in chips. With 5 left, I'm pretty sure I can't just fold my way into the money, and with SB being loose, this looks like a good chance for me to stand up for myself and trade stacks. The re-raise was at least slightly expected.
Still too loose? Would anyone else push here?
(I would never consider this against someone who hadn't proven themselves to be playing a wide range of hands aggressively.)
