this was at a home game

6-handed (.50/1NL).
i'm a very aggresive player, especially at this table since the poker at mit is pretty horrible. i just bought in after cashing out and moving to another table.

here's where the hand gets interesting

i'm utg and decide to straddle ($2)
villain is utg+1 and he's a pretty bad player (weaktight who's incredibly easy to read); after some coercion, he agrees to double straddle ($4)

it's folded around to me, and i look down to find 10 icon_suit_heart.gif j icon_suit_heart.gif . i figure since villain is weak-tigh, i could win the pot pretty easily if i made a large raise. so i bump it to $12.

villain thinks for about 1/2 minute, and my read on him is that he has a marginal hand, but thinks he's ahead. after some deliberation, he pushes all in, another $31 to me.

i sense a weak ace, two big face cards, or a medium to low pair
he would have moved in w/ much more confidence if he had aj-ak, or jj+

so the pot is now $58, im getting roughly 2-1 on my money. do i make the call?
