PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $5.00+$0.20 Tournament, 125/250 Blinds 25 Ante (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

CO (t950)
Hero (Button) (t950)
SB (t2030)
BB (t1475)
UTG (t5165)
MP (t4430)

Hero's M: 1.81

Preflop: Hero is Button with J, Q
3 folds, Hero?

SB is 7/5 but the BB is 17/0 and I had a little bit of a worry about the BB calling me light (I would prefer folds).

Note how I have position on the CO who is equal stacked with me, so the blind will hit him first - however, if he shoves before it does and I don't shove then I'm somewhat crippled - especially if he shoves and doubles up. By the time the BB reaches me, I'll have no fold equity.

I felt compelled to make a move here, but at the same time I was reluctant to do so based on the BB not seeming to keen on DON strategy.

This could be retardedly standard so I apologize in advance...
"Once we reach a certain level of mastery, we see there are higher levels and challenges. If we are disciplined and patient, we proceed. At each higher level, new pleasures and insights await us--ones not even suspected when we started out. We can take this as far as we want--in any human activity there is always a higher level to which we can aspire."
