$130 buy in. 250 runners. About 55 left (might be a little off on this), top 30 pay.

Blinds at 1500/3000/3000

Background: Previous hand had just resucked out on UTG when a Jack spikes on river for my JJ to double me up (and finally get above chip average) and cripple UTG.

UTG(15,400): All-in

Folds to me in MP3. Look down at 77.
MP3(82,000): Call 15,400

Folds to Button.
BU(41,400): All-in

Total pot: 79,700

What do I do? I ran this through Equilab using what I believed to be appropriate ranges as played but interested to see opinions about my call and what to do as played.

Thanks!

What's SB and BB stack size? It's really important.
You have to remove here with 27bb to deny equity to the players left to act.
And what position is MP3?? Hijack? Low jack?

From.HJ this is a standard shove with 27bb over a 5bb shove. Stack sizes matter a lot here

GG unlucky

I am in the Hijack.

You should have reshoved the first time, because you can't fold to any reshove yourself once you called. BU and SB have too small stacks to do this and BB might reshove a range of hands wide enough for you to call profitably.
But in order to reduce variance, stick it in the first time around.

OP just fought their way to an above avg stack and even the call is 18% of the stack at this point. With button and blinds yet to act I agree that if you're going to call this it's a must overshove, but what about a fold with this mid pair. If button or blinds have anything 77 could be seriously hurting and even if OP overshoves and all fold behind is this a spot where you want nearly 20% of your stack in a probable coinflip at best?? I'd let it it go pre. Thoughts??
