CO (t6280)
Button (t878)
SB (t1727)
BB (t2937)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with J, J.
UTG calls t50, 1 fold, Hero raises to t150, MP2 calls t150, 3 folds, SB raises to t1727, 1 fold, UTG folds, Hero???

would you call here or fold??

This early I insta-call. Hes got a huge range here. There are many more situations where you dominate than situations where youre dominated by QQ+ , and the rest of the time youre racing from ahead.

Also, even if you call and lose, you still have a very nice stack at 25/50.

k, thx, but what if i was average stack. still call? also if he had me covered, would you call there??
