In a cash game, I can see getting away from this, but in a tournament, you’ve got to call here. It’s just so likely that you are ahead.

This is close and hard to call, but I think the analysis is right. You rate to be ahead a good portion of the time here. And if you triple up you will be in very good shape

Call, act reluctant, maybe you can get A to overcall and triple through. Nobody made it to the middle of the tourney limping with J2 or J7, – Maybe Pocket Dueces limped, I think 77 would have raised. You might lose to trip dueces, a good jack will hit its partner — so be it. You shouldn’t want to get away from this.

it looks like they are both over betting their jack. call and hope they dont hit their 2 pair. and if you do win the hand, you get to rub in the fact that you won with 7-2. if they win then you got sucked out. the bragging rights are worth the call here, and the fact that you are probably ahead.
