Default You dare push into MY blind?!

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t600 with t50 antes (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

CO (t3428)
Button (t1690)
SB (t6571)
Hero (t1811)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with Xx Xx
<font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="red">Button raises to t1640 (All-in)</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, Hero ????????

Pretty sure this is a spot i play bad so thought i'd finally paste a hand. So blinds are getting big and two of us are fighting not to bubble. If i fold this hand i will be left with ~1200 chips and no FE vs 6500, 3400 and 2700.

If i spite call here and i lose im basically dead, but if i double i'm now level with the 2nd place stack and since i play better than them at pushbot - in pretty good shape.

So what do people call with here? What do people fold?

Fwiw i know nothing about him, hes a random to me but i would imagine he is pushing a reasonable range here.

You are really screwed if you fold this, i'd call about top 60%.

If you fold you're going to have to win 2-3 hands to get ITM vs. just this 1 hand here.

I don't think you need to call too light here. There is another shorty who might f-up yet.

The other shorty is going to have 2740 if hero folds. He still might screw up, but he will no longer be very short. Hero will have 1161 if he folds.

Okay, can someone please explain Top 50% and Top 60%?

Also, wouldn't you expect the guy who is all in to have at least an one Ace (even if it's Ace-3). I ran into that situation myself, but luckily I had Ace-Ten and survived just by the kicker.

maybe this is a leak, but I would call really light here, any A, K, Q, J, and any two card above 6. of course, any PP.
