Hi, this is headsup in a $7 6max hyper SNG so I feel it's best to post the spot in the HUSNG section. This is somewhat of a common spot where I feel lost as to what to do. Villain is a competent reg, fairly agg. His raise with previous limpers from the big blind is 4/6, folds to steals 75% and has flat called 1/12 big blinds (this number is skewed cause vast majority of hands I've played with him are 3handed+.

Merge - $6.61+$0.66|<> NL (6 max) - Holdem - 2 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BB: 15.28 BB (VPIP: 22.56, PFR: 22.32, 3Bet Preflop: 14.29, Hands: 139)
Hero (SB): 20.72 BB

Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has J

Hero ..... Do we limp? raise/call? raise/fold? jam?

Spoiler:

Thanks!

Limping and calling his 3x ISO would be fine but you can't call his shove.
Raising pre is fine (recommend doing 2-2.5x) but you would have to fold to his shove.

You cant limp fold unless he doesn't bluff jam, you cant raise/fold ever. Given your reads Id prob try to minraise, because he prob could be folding too much to minraises this deep. But limping also is perfectly fine.
@rsepping, after raising to 2.5x you cant fold it even vs tight ranges, you need just 41.6% equity to call shove

This hand never folds pre HU <=25bb (to anything, ever) unless there are very strong win-rate maxing effects (which won't happen 15bb, and probably won't happen for new players).

Minraise calling any size.

As played Limpcalling any size, the hand has too much equity at this stack depth to fold.

Thanks for the opinions guys. Minraise/calling here just feels weird, however given our hand strength and the stack depth r/f here doesn't make a lot of sense vs an aggressive opponent. I limped because I didn't expect my opponent to flat very often and QJs is a hand that I'd like to take postflop and open jamming yields a small, static +cEV play. I'd rather raise a hand like K2o here than QJs against someone who does not flat call a lot. Versus a more passive opponent who calls a lot and doesn't raise often I think r/f here is a viable option.

Test it. Give him a 3bj range, put it into Coffeecalcs and see what equity you have.

I think you'll be surprised.

I feel a pretty accurate one would be: 22+,A2s+,K9s+,Q9s+,J9s+,T9s,98s,A2o+,KTo+,QTo+,JTo uncapped vs a minraise.

We have 45.52% equity against that range and need 43.45% equity to minraise/call, so r/c is definitely good here.

you just cant fold if you raise, you need 43.33% to call if you raise.
If you give villain 3bet jamming range of A9+, 22-JJ than you will have 43.50% equity and are bit better by calling than folding, and it will be extremely hard to get reads that someone is 3betting tighter than that.
