I think this would totally depend on the SB and your image.

Do you/Did you have a loose aggressive image at the table (IE, do they think youd take a shot at this without an ace)?

Was he the type to call with a weak ace? Or can you put him on premium hands here?

Would he make this raise with JJ?


I would probably muck this one, putting him on something like AJ, but be real pissed off about it.
