Time to Gamble?
First off, apologies for the text history. FTR Converter is suddenly not working. Any alternative (or preferable) converter tool suggestions would be appreciated.
This hand occurred in the 2nd hour shortly before the blinds increased to 50/100. Leaders stacks were 10k-12k at the time. Average stack was 3500k-ish.
Stats are only roughly 100 hands but SB is 14/2/0.67 and BB is 14/8/0.33.

Hero: Ad Qd
Pre-flop:
Hero raises to 180. Folds around to Villain 1 in SB calls 180. Villain 2 in BB goes all-in for 1450...
My thoughts were that Villain 2 is probably not trying to chase us both away with AA, KK or QQ. Most likely he's holding AK or 88-JJ. I've still got 25BB if I fold. But I'm also way behind the leaders. Could also face an overcall from Villain 1. Is this an obvious fold? Or should I be rolling the dice in this spot? At what point do you have to start gambling to accumulate chips and contend when you're card dead? 20BB, 15BB, 10BB?
