Default $22, standard call even with crap? 3-handed

Button is weak/passive, forgot stats. Obviously, I raised because the limp looks weak and it's been pretty much push/fold for him.

Villain has 1925 and the other player and I are roughly even with ~5500 chips.

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t80/t160
3 players

Pre-flop: (3 players) Hero is SB with 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Button calls t160 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t240)</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to t640</font>, BB folds, <font color="#cc0000">Button raises all-in t1925</font>, Hero...<font color="aaaaaa"></font>.

Pot is 2645 and I have to call 1285. Odds = 2.05:1, should I pull the trigger?

Call and lose, my stack = ~3500.
Call and win, my stack = ~7500 going HU against ~5500.

I think you fold here. Your more than a 2-1 dog with most hands he has. Plus your stack size is still good with relatively low blinds.

i would fold pf or fold after raise.

if you call and show down and lose you look like a super donk (not an overly bad thing really) except that its 160bb

SS limp will often be a hand raising it is not a bad then because donks still limp wide. However after a passive person pushes after limp i would expect a hand. AK or PP.

If you want to flex big stack and would ever EVER call a raise i with 94o push preflop
