I'd probably pass but not much in it. 

Not sure what others will think but I'd rather have him having to make the decision rather than me, so I'd be pushing a lot from the sb and looking to wait for a slightly better hand to call a push.

Interestingly,,,,,,,,,,,

I have had the view from 2 well known Pro's who have said the call IS a no brainer.

Just goes to show there is no right or wrong answer.

CALL!!! You almost have a 10:1 chip ratio on him. Call with any 2 cards. So the Big H says anyway...

Please supply the hands not including a 2 that A2 is a big favorite over?

I don't know why ppl are so keen to gamble, poker is about making less mistakes than your opponent not happily embracing situations where your opponent has to gamble (you don't) and cant be making a big mistake.

u got to call here also h2h any A is massive esp with your chip advange you want to take the shot while he is short not let him nick more chips next time u get a hand to call with it will cost your more and more if u pass this one up,  imo i also call here with any K  he is most likely pushing with any connector or any suited cards,  and if you take the shot now you still have a chip advantage and can play proper poker as it is its only ever going to be all-in pre,   i dont agree with the post push from the sb with any 2 what if u get 29 or something simlar ? still push ? lol

I dont call here with pretty much any two like jjandellis says. but i do call here with your hand. You still have 19200 to his 5600 if you lose so i dont see much problem.

Yes - he then has the decision to call and can make the mistake of folding.

I think the call is a no-brainer to be honest.   You're ahead of his range with a massive chip lead, if you lose you still have a massive chip lead.  He probably pushes most hands here.   

doubleup - If you're ahead of his range its a mistake to fold.
