Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (5 handed)

UTG (t980)
MP (t9320)
Button (t4600)
SB (t2150)
Hero (t2950)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 7[[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]], 2[[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]].
UTG pushes [t980] , [<font color="#666666">3 folds]</font>, Hero calls t580.

Pot is offering us odds of 2.7/1, we are probably 2/1 against villans range. Is this a standard call or should we fold because losing that 580 would really hurt?

I think the value of seeing a few more hands here overcomes
the weak hand despite proper odds.

The opposite the above for the opposite reasons.

Calling and losing doesn't really affect your situation at all.

Calling and winning gives you a healthier stack.

Therefore calling >>> folding.
