I'd just let this go, but call if you were 1 BB shorter.

Yeah I will usually call off my chips in the BB not on the bubble with a lot of marginal hands like this, and even worse SCs and stuff. Here I think you have a bit too much left. Run it in sngpt b/c obviously I don't know MPs opening range. It might turn out to be +ev if he is shoving wide enough, but this is just speculation.

You are getting about 3 to 2 on your pot odds and you are about 47% against a random hand.

I am sure he must have better than a random hand, so you are probably about 30-35% chance at best.

You are in a tough spot. If you fold, you have t1075 after posting your SB. You have zero fold equity and even if you double up, you are still in trouble because your M will only be 3.6.

Tough decision, but I would call.

I let it go, but its not a great spot. You would have to jam any two cards on your SB if you get the opportunity.

I would fold this. You're looking for one spot to get your money in and I hate calling off my stack with this hand when I could find a better spot in the next 2 or 3 hands. And you do still have FE as small as it may be.

Seems like a straight forward ICM problem which is an easy fold. Even with 1 BB less you probably shouldn't be calling here, the CO shouldn't be shoving insanely wide here.

fold.

if you were 1 bb shorter AND you knew he was shoving very very wide, you can call at that point.

If you were even shorter, then it's even more likely he wouldn't be shoving wide enough, it would have to be like 40%+ or so I would imagine.
