Question on Call on the bubble

[DMACM]

The villan was loose aggressive and had spite called my button raise with 98o earlier to double me up. As big stack he had made some raises. I felt like the odds id get if the BB folded would be good enough for a call. Was this a mistake? UTG big stack pushed I called from sb.

1) This is not the bubble

2) Why do people use that stupid convertor thing, all it does is screw up the action.

UTG pushed I called everyone else folded

I like the call, meaning, I don't really see that you have much choice.

But there's really no need to post the flop, ect. It probably just serves to bias any answers...

Assuming converter didn't screw up and your ~850 is pre-posting, you've got barely 2xBB left after posting. You need to double up to get to the money, and you said UTG's been aggressive. Clearly he's targeting you with his raise to t900, and might even be a terrible player looking to give himself room to fold if one of the medium stacks pushes, meaning probably a slightly smaller chance of JJ+. I don't think you're gonna get a better spot here, and I'd say you're a pretty big favorit over UTG's range here. Standard call in my opinion.

You are getting 1.7:1 on your call, assuming the BB folds. If you put the Villan on 55+, A5+, and any two broadway, YOU will win 48% of the time. Since you only need to win 37% or more for +EV, this seems like an easy call given the situation.
