Not sure if this was a wee bit too spewy given 15min blinds and villain had been sitting with short stack for a while just waiting. I think with how long he waited his range is mostly better Ax hands and any pairs. Feel free to call me an idiot and troll but after your done hit me up with some advice, its much appreciated.

You are getting 2-1 to call, so it only loses a little if you know he has JJ. You are only significantly behind pot odds against AA. It is read-dependent whether you are ever flipping here, which would make it a call.

I am not fond of the UTG open, but some people play that way.

You should fold pre and even moreso if you even remotely question whether you should call the all in.

The open pre is dicey with so many reshove stacks behind but it's just a math call now.
