Needs a read.

If he's decent, probably has you dominated. Any sign of previous donkicity, let it rip.

(PP<JJ, AK the like would be more inclined to push over or call IMO. Reraising 'for value' more than 1/2 his stack is either very alarming, or very stupid, or very smart trying to look very stupid [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Without a solid read, I'd let it go)

.. and for the same reason, I quite often push AA or KK in this position, because it looks like PP < JJ, AK

without a read is this a fold?

lol, yes. similar to the less popular (for good reason) 'raise 1/2 your stack with 77 because it looks like AA' line [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

i think he has to dump this - still getting a few more at bats

It's a tossup. Either fold or push and don't stress about it.
