Default 20/180: Should i be defending my small blind here with 33?

Villain was about 17/13 on a very tight table. He was stealing quite a lot, as has everybody else, and as such, chipstacks have stayed about the same for the last half hour or so. Should i usually do something with this hand in this situation? I wasn't too sure what.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (8 handed) internettexasholdem.com

BB (t10195)
UTG (t5905)
UTG+1 (t7225)
MP1 (t10755)
MP2 (t8280)
CO (t4924)
Button (t3520)
Hero (t6145)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to t1225</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>.

Final Pot: t1400

this is a very close one, the big peril with your hand is that if called you will be on a coinflip at the best, but can be way behind. So basically it comes to the fold equity u can get by shoving, which I dont feel is good enough to justify a shove, (he will have about 2-1 odds to call AI).
I dont totally like folding here, but lets wait for a better spot.

Jam. Against a constant blind-stealer, this is a near instashove.

Seems like a very standard shove to me.
