This is a tough one with BB short stacked and still to act behind you. Your hand is 58% against random hand and based on CO's chip stack, his hand may not be much better than random.

However, if BB joins the fray and decides to push, what do you do?

I probably would let it go and look for a better spot to get involved.

And let it go I did.

Instant shove. CO has an M of a little less than 2.7, and is clearly desperate. I'd expect his play to profit with any A, any K, any pair, any two royal, and a lot more. Folding is much too weak, and is like throwing money away on this shortstacked table.

If BB folds, 7175 / 4300 = 1.67:1

With BB still to act, I think it's borderline.
