Default PokerStove help

Pre-flop. The pot is 1k. Villian puts me all-in for my last 1k. Before I call or fold, he accidentally turns over 55. I have A2s. My pokerstove equity shows 33.33%.

There is 2k in the pot. I have to call 1k. I'm getting 2/1 on my money.

Should I call, fold, or is it a break even call?

This is a break even situation . You're getting 2:1 which means you have to win at least 33 % of the time to show a profit .

If he has a 5 of your suit you should fold. If he has no 5 of your suit you should call. If for some reason you just know he has 55 and nothing else, and if there is no dead money (I.e., blinds), you should fold as the equity is really 33.3297 so less than 1/3.
