Hero BB with A♠J♠ closing to a 14bb pot, 7bb to call

The math

GTO answer: Call

Three-way pot with an all-in. UTG has a wide shove range, HJ flat-calling is announcing a strong but capped range (TT+, AQs+, AKo, no AA/KK because he would jam). AJs has roughly 30% in a three-way pot. You are getting 14-to-7 (2-to-1) and you close the action. The bigger question is squeezing, but squeezing here lets HJ cold-4-bet shove or call with QQ+ AK and now you are committed to a brutal range. Just call, see a flop in a multi-way all-in pot for 7bb, win 14+ when you flop a pair or better. Calling realises your equity at the right price.
