How much do you have? Nothing got there on the turn. It's likely you're up against a modest hand, maybe a pair and a 4-flush, AT. I probably just shove here. There's 1600 in there, I don't want a scare card to come on the river, and be left with a tough decision. Just put in the big bet now when it's highly likely you have the best hand.

i'm just curious whether my opponents are collectively drawing so close to dead right now that i can just call here, obviously pushing is my first thought

The fact that they may be drawing dead is only part of it. If a scare card comes, they may not call the river, and you may not be able to bet it.

I think you should call. If anyone's drawing live, it's SB who isn't folding anyways. So it can't cost you the pot. It can cost you 2100, but i think you more than make up for that by keeping in the donk.
