No specific reads on villian except he doesnt seem to defend his blind. I've stolen his blinds twice in the past 3 orbits.

And the table in general is tight. we've been 5 handed for 2 blind levels. it gets folded to bb somewhat frequently. bigstack hasnt been pounding on me that often.

normally, with 6BB left after posting, i would call in a heartbeat w/AJs.

but since villian doesnt seem to call all-in's, i could probably steal my blind back. and since bigstack isn't bullying me that much, i could last a while.

Given these conditions, what would you do, and why?

I dont know about you.. but AJs from a tight player's all in seems like an easy fold to me, even if the call is slightly +EV, because you can always steal his blind later.

Eastbay's program says this is a -EV call.

I totally agree.

Is Villain not pushing a lot? That's what really matters, not just his folding to the blinds.
