20/12 tells me very little. A lot of aggro BB's with a larger stack like to put the pressure on a small stack that open SB raises. That said...

If you push and he folds you just made it easy for him to make the right decision, and you've picked up 400 extra chips. If you push, he only calls with hands that beat you, or at best a flip with JJ. If he calls you will be lucky to have 40% equity in the pot for your tourn life.

If you fold you have M=15. Looks like a pretty good fold here.

Tough spot. If he shoved back I would INSTAcall but with this kind of standard re-raise, I think we have to assume that his range is tighter than it would be if he shoved. Think of it this way, if he had AA or KK in this spot would he shove, unless you had been in similar situations previously where he knew you would call his shove light?

That said, I think the chance of this being a bluff would mean that in a game I would just shove over here. You have odds to flip against JJ and below, there's a chance that he is re-raising with AJ and below.
