How willing are you to gamble for 1/3 your stack? I'd guess he either got an over on you or maybe a small PP. Either way you're at best a coin flip and probably need to hit.

I'd let it go.

uh... how is that even a question? You would have to construct an absolutely ridiculous range for this to be a good call.

So, QJs is about 47% against Ax or Kx and about even against 22-TT. It is very unlikely villain has JJ-AA. So all you are worried about is AJ, AQ, AK, KQ, and KJ. You are about a 3-2 dog against AK and 2-1 against the others.

Plus villain probably would make a smaller raise with hands that strong. You are probably close to even against a pp, Ax, or Kx. You are putting in 47% with pot odds, so the call is pretty close in chip EV.

beecause imo he's not likely to do this with AA-JJ, and those are a huge part of the -ev of the range.

umm... what IS he likely to do this with? Nothing. In my experience, overbet pushes are usually AK or a small pocket pair that is too scared to play postflop. That's not to say his range isn't pretty wide, but I think you have to weight those hands more than others. I also don't think you can discount JJ+, as I have seen people overbet with everyone one of those hands as well. I don't think this is anywhere near close.

An overbet push from mid to late position could be a fairly big hand. From the SB, it is a fairly standard play with an ace, small pp, broadway cards, suited connector etc. It is not that bad a play to push here, since you have folding equity, are up aginst one random hand, and are OOP postflop.
