Default 66 in BB vs short stack All-in

We just past the bubble in the 180 man tourney and I ran into this situation. I have ~ $17k vs. SS of $5.2k. Currently sitting in 5th position and would like to make the final table. SS pushes against my 66. Pretty sure that I have a coinflip but wondering if I should take it after just clearing the bubble or wait for a better opportunity?

Calling and folding are both good plays. If you are the kind of player who needs a bigger stack to play your A-game, be more inclined to call.

Good advice.

Also, if you really think this is a coin flip, well then you have the better of it and should take advantage of this small edge.

have to take advantage of 55:45's so if you think its a "flip" call it. even if you lose, your stack is 11-12k, with a double up your looking strong for the final table.
