You have to call that

Re: nothing unusual...?
 

Use the 5/10 rule with small PP:s in position. If you are not familiar with the term, it should be easy to find in the search engine. Otherwise, it is discussed in NLPLP by Reuben and Ciaffone.

That's a very routine call. Playing a small pair for set value in position for only 3.5 BB is +EV when the effective stack sizes are 70 BB.
