Good example. You're getting 1.7 to 1 odds with a decent hand but losing is a big blow to your stack. I tried to plug it into SGA but, of course, it doesn't include the new blind levels yet. My instinct is to fold. Looking at SGA at the 100/200 and 50/100 levels it's not positive EV unless you have a read he's a "maniac" (will push 22+, A2+, K2+, Q2s+, Q6o+, J7s+, J9o+, T8s+, 98s). That's a pretty broad range of hands which confirms my instinct and I'd fold.

Dont call unless you are sure favorite or it doesnt hurt your stack's current level of power.
