    you are getting about 1.35 to 1 on the call.....so the tightest range he can have for you to profitably call would be AJ+ and 88+ which i think is definately possible.... his big shove i think lets us eliminate QQ-AA and i think makes us put most of the weight on pairs 77 to JJ as well as AK and Aq.... i do think he shows up with AJ once in a while...... since you beat two of the pairs and lose to the other two he shows up with most often and are on the winning end of the flips.... i think this is definately a call....secondly i think doubling up puts you in great position to go for the win...and your going to need to some time... i think call is the correct play

    alright....i ended up folding...I thought he may have had AA or KK because the other two people hadn't acted yet...he later told me he had AK, i agree though i think i should have made that call...I would have been in position to win as u say and also i ended up getting knocked out in 7th anyways with a marginal hand
