Default $6 stars turbo - 55 on the bubble at 200/400

This table was pretty tight, even late. The big stacks were not pushing like they should have, and the other small stack wasn't raising much either.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t400 with t25 antes (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

CO (t3655)
Button (t1900)
Hero (t1830)
BB (t6115)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="red">Button raises to t1600</font>, <font color="gray">Hero ???</font>

I don't want to bubble, but with the blinds at 200/400 i can't really last much longer. I'm not super desperate, but if i fold here i only have like 3 bb's and it's pretty hard for me to raise at that point. It's unlikely he has a pair, and it's concievable he could have a2 or something i dominate. Also he's the other small stack so if i fold and he wins I'm in even worse shape. This is a call right?

he must be shoving wider than ~18% for you to call here and he should be if he is somewhat competent. Allthough at 6$ sng's a random/unknown is generally pushing to tight in these spots.

I thought this was an instacall too, but my bubble play is pretty retarded so i just wanted to make sure i wasn't totally stupid.
