Home: Defending blind with A-T: stack size issue.

[larrondo]

Fifteen players to start (OK, so it's a 1.5 table tournament, but it didn't seem appropriate to the MTT forum, and plays a lot like a STT.) Pays three places. There are still 11 left in the tournament. My table has six left. I've just taken a bit of a beating when my top pair ran into a set, and I'm down to 2100 in chips. Blinds are 75 and 150, so my M according to Harrington is 5.6. It's folded around to the button, who seems fairly tight, certainly not a maniac, who open raises for 400. Small blind folds, I look down and see ATo. If I call, I'm out of position and my stack is 1,700 with 875 in the pot.

Are we in push-land? Folding seems weak, but anything else seems to put my in an awkward position. Suggestions?

Thanks.
