Default 27: I can\'t possibly fold here, can I?

When I put reasonably loose ranges for the smaller stacks (top 15% for button, top 10% for CO and SB) and the rather wide range, which I feel is pretty accurate for BB who has been raising every hand and can fold but will call reasonably loose (22+,A2s+,KTs+,QTs+,JTs,A2o+,KTo+,QTo+,JTo), I get this as a break-even push, losing $.02. I am quite surprised at this result. However, in spite of that, my intuition just screams that I have to be pushing this anyway. Am I wrong? I currently can't imagine folding this, but I've gotten a few like this in roughly this spot in the past couple of days with small pairs where SNGPT has given them as +/- .2% and I'm getting confused.

Additionally in this hand, BB is opening 3x literally every hand and stealing from the button or sb is quite unlikely--I'm going to have to race against BB to get chips or hope that he busts everyone else. While I'd like advice on the general situation, I feel that even if the advice is that I should be folding my small pairs here, I probably should take this break-even gamble in this spot because of that game condition.

This is by no means an easy push.

I think this one depends entirely on reads. In a vacuum it's probably a fold.

folderino.

4 left to act, 2 stacks that could easily make loose calls due to stack-size -- one of whom is in the big blind.
