Re: JJ facing utg push

Nobody considers folding this?

Not me. With 895 left, blinds 150, and JJ, i need REALLY compelling reasons to fold.

If I call I’m most likely out of the tournament 30-35% of the time.

Those aren't terrible odds.

If I win there are still 5 players left and I’m not the chip leader. My position is improved but it’s not a lock for anything.

Yeah, but you've got the second biggest stack with two smaller stacks right behind you to abuse. Seems like a great situation to me.

By wide range I meant ~(KT, Ax, any pocket)+.

seems about right to me.

Buy-in was 20+2.
I don’t think I was clear on my last note in the original post. I’m not expecting a big stack overcall too often; I more meant it for future considerations. He is two to my left which means that I will have to somewhat tighten up my pushing range in the future.

Again, you've got two people between you and him to abuse. It's not like he is immediately to you left after this hand. I think you are in a great position if you call this and win, and you will win around 65% of the time based on your range for UTG. You've only got 5 BB left - IMO you need to take this risk.
