Hi Truthiness - I was about an hour into writing a reply last night when the power went out and I lost the whole of my effort. Was it windy down in Santa Monica too? I'll try to recapture the gist of what I was thinking:

At any rate, your starting hand is below average. It's below average for a full game, a six max game, a three player game and a heads-up game. It's not trash, but it's definitely below average, and a hand with which you might easily get into trouble.

You're going for a steal, and you can do that with trash (or anything) if you have a strong enough feeling you can pull it off, but I usually like at least a better than average hand, just in case one or both of the blinds plays back (as happened here).

At any rate, when SB goes all-in and is called by BB, you're getting approximately 5.1 to 1 whole pot odds. (172528 to 33764). But you're only getting approximately 2 to 1 half pot odds. (69382 to 33764).

Of course you have to fold, hoping to move into second place.
