Stars 100+9, 246playrs 34 remaining, bubble is 27

blinds are 200-400
Hero is in MP with JJ and make it 1600 (8400) Just about average stack

Villain is a chip leader(18100) and insta-pushes ....folded back to me

whats my play here, i felt the way he pushed it was AK but should i be willing to race here? or should i lay down and re build .... correct me if im wrong but post by Strassa said that he would take coin flips all in preflop because thats how you gt chips and get to final tables ...

thx

Any other reads on villain? has he done anything wierd?

If he could do this w/ 99+, i think a call is right. (Some pokerstove can confirm that, i don't have access to it now).

I think your preflop raise was a bit big and gives you a harder time.. a raise to 1000 will do the job fine, and commits you less to the pot (not that you're pot commited now).
