Default Stars 11$. 22 pre flop, on bubble with short stack allin

Saw this HH on another forum and was intrigued. Not sure what the right answer is on this one. Hero has an awkward stack size in the BB. Do you call and try to check this down? Fold? Re-raise allin?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

CO (t6120)
Button (t420)
SB (t6025)
Hero (t935)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
CO calls t200, <font color="red">Button raises to t420 (All-in)</font>, SB calls t320, Hero ????

I'd fold and let CO and SB deal with it. Your dueces aren't really much good to "cooperate" with here cos they are hardly ever gonna be the winning hand vs 3 others.

yeah just ran it thru stove, considering button is pushing 80% and SB is calling 60%, you only cut his chances to win the hand by ~30% percent from 37 to about 28, whilst you allow him to tripple up if he wins.

This is a good point, since you are on the bubble.

As an aside, can someone help me with the math here? Since he has $200 in, what is the value to call for trips? He calls $220 to get $500? Or $2200? What?

Would it be nutty to push and hope for SB to call?
You really only need to beat the micro-stack.
