I think calling here is best because it lets you over realize your equity when you make your hand OTT (flushes and straights) since from my experience SB's range is very QQxx heavy. Note that you kinda block him from having an inside wrap w/ a FD since he cannot have Ah Kh Qh or Jh in his hand, so he is left with Thxxx only. Furthermore, readless, SB is more likely to 3bet rundowns and more likely to call QQxx. He is never folding QQxx to a shove but might fold dominated draws or a naked AQxx which u are probably freerolling. Plus, if you make your hand OTT and he has QQ, you are blocking him from making a boat (and you win with an Ace too), so if u GII OTT he has way less equity than he would expect (you over realize your equity compared to GII OTF). But when calling here you need to occasionally just call with AAxx too!

I don't think so. My guess for your worst hands you can play against in this spot (meaning the two hands you would have the worst equity against) would be your hand vs the exact same hand (AAJJ also) and a like like 5678ds where you still have 19.2% equity and you need roughly 20% equity to call all in (1,18$ to win 6$), meaning that if you will ever be up against other hands (which you will), you will be BE or better when calling.

thank you very much!
