it's been 4-handed for a while. everyone is just pushing back and forth and no one is calling. no hands have been shown, and the blinds keep increasing. they are going up to 400/800 within 1 minute.

Is this a hand I can make a stand with? There's a good chance I have the best hand, and if I win there's a good chance I'll win the whole thing. Can I call with this or should I only be playing it if I'm the one pushing?

I fold but it is close. KJ is a great pushing hand but a very marginal calling one.

He has to be pushing like 40% of his hands here in order to call. I would play it safe and fold unless I saw that he was pushing down into the queens and jacks. Since hands haven't been going to SD I would toss it and pick a better spot.
