"Problem with this spot is if we lose our stack no longer has any fold equity so we miss out on future +ev spots."
Basically you're risking your table strength and the ability to fold a few more hands with this play. All the math aside, it just makes no sense to call that all in bet with a hand like J-7os. Especially when you know that you're nearing the endgame of the tournament and calling with a marginal hand would leave you with a shortish stack and an uphill battle when you lose.
