I fold. You're way too far out of position to be playing around with J9o here, IMO.

I realize I'm out of position but All it take is a nice flop and I can double up.... I'm not playing to sneak into 2nd place here i'm playing to bust one of those players and haev a large chips lead heads up.

And you think calling a raise with J9o and 2 players yet to act is the way to do this?

He was last to act, in the BB.

The problem with this reasoning is that you can use to to call any bet with any hand.

Even if you hit top pair you may be a dog here, bleeding your stack away. You have good FE with your stack. It is a much better way to get more chips than to gamble it up with J9.
