You have an M of ~6. not quite desperate yet. This is also your SB so you won't have to pay blinds again for several hands.

It costs you another 3600 to call which is 1/6 of your stack. and if you miss the flop you will have an M of ~5.

if you aren't dominated by a higher pair then at best this is probably a coin flip. and you still have the BB to act behind you.

I can't see any reason to do anything besides fold.

a tiny part of me wants to reraise all-in but i don't think i can do it.

without a read an mp1 raise 9 handed is too strong a hand too often to resteal against imo
