Hello folks,

I didn't know what to do here with the 1BB stack (who was sitting out) and yet four huge stacks. I've no reason to believe SB is getting way out of line, he's been pretty tight. I'm not too worried about the flatters behind.

BB: 66,303 (11.8 bb)
UTG+2: 296,277 (52.9 bb)
Hero (MP1): 175,063 (31.3 bb)
MP2: 178,867 (31.9 bb)
MP3: 4,574 (0.8 bb)
CO: 354,725 (63.3 bb)
BTN: 757,371 (135.2 bb)
SB: 398,820 (71.2 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with J

UTG+2 folds, Hero raises to 11,312, 2 folds, CO calls 11,312, BTN calls 11,312, SB raises to 61,600, BB folds, Hero ?

I don't see calling ever an option here? So jam or fold?

I think jamming is ICM suicide. SB's range has to be very strong there squeezing against 3 opponents given the ICM considerations and the fact that 2 of the callers can cripple/bust him. I think you're way behind his range.

The min raise is usually really strong, and wanting a call or shove imo.
And I think icm calculators would tell you to fold, with that guy about to blind out. I'd guess they'd say KK+. I tried to paste it into sintngo wizard, but it didn't work.
