This is a really tought spot....but I think that I would reluctantly call. Those times that he flips over J,10 (which could definitly be a possibility) on a $20 makes this a hard laydown given the odds and how pot committed you are. What I would do is go back through the hand history if you don't already know and see how the villan got his early chip lead (he might have shown down a hand that he played poorly, or well, that could give you info on how to interpret this raise)
