    There is dead money in the pot.

    You don't need 50% equity. There's over $2 dead in the pot on your decision.

    You have
    $7.07 - $0.55 = $6.52
    behind

    Villain has you covered, so f you jam and Villain calls, the pot will be
    2*$7.07 + $0.02 = $14.16

    So you'd be betting $6.52 to win a pot of $14.16
    If you jam, AND IF Villain calls, you only need...
    $6.52/$14.16 = 46%

    So you will break even (ignoring rake) in the long run if you have 46% total equity. If you have 40% equity against Villain's calling range and a decent amount of fold equity, then you are making a +EV play.

    What ranges do you put Villain on for a UTG open 5-handed, then the 4-bet range, then the call a 5-bet jam range?
