Call.
KJ is actually quite strong relative to our perceived range here.
We need to call 8870 to win 12,620 so we only need about 40% equity in the pot to make this call.
I think its likely we have that here – we’ve got that against all aces other than AK/AJ (AQ obviously right on the margin) and all pockets other than AA,KK,QQ and JJ.
So I think given our percieved any two card aggressivenes in a blind vs blind scenario we definately have the equity to make the call given our comfortable stack.
The reward is worth the risk in my opinion.

This is a marginal situation. Folding and calling seem to me to be pretty equal options. We’re getting 3-to-2 pot odds so as long as we’re not dominated a call is fine.
I’m going with black fair on this one: I call. If we’re being very aggressive I don’t want the table to think they can start playing back at our raises. I’m willing to go to the mat to show that when we’re in a hand we mean business and your entire stack will be at risk.
Also KJo is a legitimate SB raising hand. There’s nothing wrong with showing that hand down.

I’ll fold. While I agree with the math for the call, I don’t want to risk doubling-up a TAG who has position. Hero is comfortably heading toward the $, so be conservative in this spot.

fold. calling off a quarter of your stack with KJ makes no sense against a TAG player.

Villain has a perfect restealing stack and both know this.So, once you decide to open raise you know he is insta shoving;KJ is good enough to open with and call a reshove with this effective stacks.
