Default lol HORSEament (short-stack Stud/8 \"push\")

Technically, this is an MTT hand, but an 11-player HORSEament hardly counts as "multi-table." 8 players remain. 4 spots pay 130/180/280/490. I think everything is correct here, but there's only so much information I can absorb and retain for 12 hours, so bear with me.

25/100/400/800 Stud/8

Seat 2: t1000 (xx) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Seat 3: t1500 (xx) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (bring-in)

Seat 8: t2500 (xx) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Is this really as easy a fold as it looks? I'm basically flipping with most of the hands that will play with me: good three-card A-small-small hands and the like, which make lows about 1/2 the time. Everyone at the table is fairly short-stacked. I have a decent amount of folding equity, even over 6 people. The only card that's really troubling me is the K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in the hand of the idiot short stack in Seat 2.

I'm pretty sure calling is bad because I'm not interested in letting marginal low hands pick up a fourth low card for cheap and then be way ahead of me, but can I raise? It's effectively a push with 1 small bet behind.
