Table had been shorthanded for awhile but both button and SB had VPIP's of ~70%. They are calling this raise extremely wide. Original raiser hadn't been that active, I'd guess his range is around top 20%. SNGWiz couldnt calculate it but I imagine my range has to be pretty tight here no?

Poker Stars $30+$3 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t75/t150 Blinds - 4 players

Hero (BB): t1090
CO: t4130
BTN: t4430
SB: t3850

Pre Flop: Hero is BB with J

CO raises to t300, BTN calls t300, SB calls t225, Hero ...

I think I'd go w/ it here. Even though CO has been tight, CLs on the bubble usually open up a bit, and w/ the loose BTN calling, you should have some dead money in the pot. You're also the shorty, and w/ the stack sizes like this it's unlikely that someone is going to bust before you if you play the waiting game.

you get called by at least two players (then they check it down)
I'll just call and hope for the best

I'd shove also, but expect a few callers
