This is a live $200 tournament at Venetian. We are at about level 5. I am a late entry to the table after rebuying. I doubled up fairly quick QQ > JJ. I have about 22K. Was active my first few orbits, but card dead recently.

Villains are both white-haired retired men. V1 (~26K) has a very healthy stack. Rarely see him get to the river since he tends to bet huge on the flop. Someone at the table made a comment that he is “bullying with the best hand.”  He has limp/reraised once then 5x overbet jammed a “safe” flop. I have seen him limp hands as strong as AQo first in.

I have only played one hand with V2 where he raised pre, got 2 callers, checked flop and turn, then raised my turn bet. He may be the kind I call a “backwards player” where he traps with his good hands and bets as bluffs, but sample size is very small.

Blinds 150/300/25 V1 raises to 800. V2 flats in cutoff. I call the BB with AJ

Flop (2800) J52 V1 bets 2600. V2 raises to 6100 leaving himself 6K behind.

I'm pretty confused in this spot. Pre-flop seems like a clear call. No sense bloating the pot OOP against a potnetially very strong range. No sense folding given the pot odds and hand strength, although against villain 1, if an ace flops and lots of money goes in, I'm probably behind.

I'm torn on the flop. My hand feels both too strong to fold and too weak to call.
