I usually convince myself he's making a move and call in this spot, and he usually shows up with KK+, but I'd call anyway.

I prob keep my mouse over the spot where call will appear as the EPs are folding.

Hand 0: 44.196% 42.93% 01.27% 33077326 977639.00 { JhJs }
Hand 1: 55.804% 54.53% 01.27% 42021076 977639.00 { TT+, AQs+, AKo }

Given a range like this it seems to be a pretty safe call getting about 1.8-1. Anyone put him on something different?

looks scary, but you can't fold vs the big blind's stack after your raise, you have to call, hope you win the flip or he has TT.

Yeah,I guess I can find a fold here if I have notes on BB saying he is supertight,scared etc. Hell,even then I might call. I agree with Dunkman that they do occationally show up with KK+ here,but honestly,I think the TT+,AQ+ range given might be too tight. So many times I see a mid pp here,I've even seen weak aces.

It might not be a fistpumpcall,but no way it can be profitable to fold here

I think that your raise looks enough like a squeeze play to mean that the BB could be RR lighter than TT+, AQs+. Assuming everyone else folded, I would RRAI since he left 742 behind.
