I'm getting over 3.7:1 on my call, and I figure him to only have a Jack, but not AJ, so my Aces are still live. Against the range I've put him on, I'm about a 2.3:1 underdog, so I have the current odds, and folding would leave me crippled, but still in the game.

Am I getting too much of an overlay to even think of folding? Also, what's a better line for this hand? Should I just be folding to this flop raise? If I think I can get his whole stack if I hit the turn, should I be calling? Or am I too short to even be considering this?

Thanks a lot.
