1) you raised from EP, so your range could easily have QQ and JJ here
2) BB was one of the last to call, decent odds, random players show up with 9T, QJ, all kinds of stuff here
3) BB doesn't seem to care that you raised a field of 5 players after his donk
with no reads, i fold it. you have taken a strong line and he still wants to get all the money in. the presence of the other players mean its less likely he is screwing around. if you call, what are you hoping to see? AQ? JT? 89ss? i have a hard time giving a heavy weighting to those kind of hands without a read...
