Pass or Call?

[RedDuke]

I'm sure we're all sometimes faced with situations where we have to take a gamble in order to win.

Let's say you're in First Seat holding this:



Upcard is the Jack of Hearts. Score is 6-6. Pass or call?

This actually happened to me in a game last night (except that I was holding the above hand in third seat).

You should probably donate in this position because you have no way to stop a loner. But... if everybody passes in the first round then you win the game. Would you take the gamble and pass or would you order up the maker?

Against the I'm donating. Just can't mess around in that spot.

Against the I'll gamble and pass.

Of course the above is read dependent. If the dealer will pass biddable hands or is passive on loners that can flip the script.
