Default Call re-raise all-in with JJ?

It's a 2-tables 22$ SNG, 15 left, Blinds 25/50, I'm about third at the table with 2100. Folded to me and I raise to 150 with JJ. The player immidiately to my left, 1245, goes in.

He is playing rather strangely - open-pushed few times (first hand of the game - all-in), limped a lot, and made one big bad call.

My image is rather tight, I wasn't playing too much.

All folded to me. Is it a fold? a call?

Fold, you can't expect anything but a coin flip at best.

I fold too, this seems like the type of player who pushes with really good hands for no apparent reason other than he has an awesome hand.

Fold, if he really does get out of line a lot, Id like something a little better than jacks gamble with.

Default Results and thoughts

Thanks for the replies. I think you are all correct, and that I'm not much better than a coin-flip. I put him on something like TT-AA, AJ-AK, which gives me better than 50:50, and I had to put 1090 to win 1470. In a ring game I'm pretty sure calling here is the right move, but since it's an SNG, folding is probably better, although -CEV.

I decided to call. He had AKo and hit an ace. I was down to 855. I don't think it was a good call by me, although I'm interested to know if any of you would have called here if you *knew* he has AKo.

You are getting 1.3:1 on the pot, with a 1:1.2 probability. This is +367T EV. Still a definite fold? Any thoughts?

Hard to pass on +367 on a 1090 bet that leaves you with half the avg number of chips even if you lose.

If I knew he had AK, I'd call.

If it is limit, you are probably right.
If it is No-Limit, I'll fold faster than Carl Lewis [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
