$200+$20 Local Tourney.Live. You play with these guys often.
27 players and down to the last 10, so Avg stack 54k.

You have 37k and are in the BB. 1000/2000. No ante.
25 minute levels. 2k/4k;3k/6k;4k/5k then 5k/10k;10k/15k;15k/30k etc.

Everyone folds to the SB who plays tight and is down to his last 3k after posting. Everyone folds to him, and he goes all in, giving you 2:1 on your money if you call.

You have 65s, giving you 1.61:1 odds of winning (based upon 22+,A2+,KT+,QT+ range for opponent) which includes the .44% of the time you tie.

Do you call?

I did without hesitation and got some funny looks.

call for sure
fact that you got funny looks might get you extra action later (yum!)

At that stack size for SB, it is game-theoretically correct for him to push his top 90% and for you to call with your your top 90% -- which 65s definitely is.
Call is definitely, positively correct.
