    if you are good at playing postflop, then call.

    if you are bad at playing postflop, play tighter

    You're folding that hand to any form of pre-flop aggression.
    pulling a courtiebee pŏŏl-ĭng ā kôrt-ē-bē (verb phrase):
    1. overvaluing mid pocket pairs
    2. knowing you should fold, but donkishly calling or raising anyway

    pot odds are good enough to call, but you can fold if you aren't good at postflop play (like if you cant fold top pair)

    Ah there's that evil phrase to SnG...pot odds

    Although here it may not be too bad, I didn't notice he limped already.

    If you can only play this for anything higher but a pair and know what's a good flop bet to call to chase and such, then go right ahead for $60 more.

    I agree with Gabe, but I still don't know what JOOBIES are.
    It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
    Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

    yeah - i probably call that based on pot odds, but would be a little concerned about the yet-to-act player re-raising. But you better be able to let the hand go if you don't flop a monster - straight or flush. If you start drawing or playing TPMK, it's gonna get real expensive with the bloated pot.
