It's a tough one.
Assuming stack sizes are quoted prior to the blinds the BB has to call with any 2.
You cannot afford to lose. You would be left with 273 and zero fold equity.
There is also table image to worry about here. You don't want big stacks calling you when you try to steal from them later.

The only thing in your favor is Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif7/images/graemlins/heart.gif will win/draw 56% of the time against a random hand.
Do you feel lucky?

Fold and hope you get a better hand before the blinds get to you again.

yeah, bet it up. assuming other poster's numbers were right and you win 56%, you've gotta play. you're putting in 244 to win a total pot of 688, meaning your chip EV is 385 - 244 = T141.

that's too good to pass up, and besides, i think you want the gamble. you have barely any FE now and busting the BB would change that.

I push here with any two. You are getting almost 2-1 pot odds and there is a slight chance the BB will fold. Q7s is a slightly better than average hand.

I think i would fold this as the small blind has to call with any two cards. You are 54% favorite against a random hand, so it is a coin flip which can lose the game. I would wait for the next semi decent hand and go all in.

You must push here. You lose fold equity if you muck and you're getting almost 2 to 1 on a significantly better than random hand. It's not going to get any better than this for you.

[Drac]

I push, hating every second of it.

[microbet]

Push. Yes you might be a coin flip to lose the game, but you are in 5th place and if you fold you won't have much more than 1/2 the chips of 4th place and only about 2 1/2 BBs. And, oh yeah, that stuff about pot odds and EV.

[Sidekick]

Easy push.

You are getting great odds on a hand that is an above average hand. You can't afford to give up any chips at this point. Your FE right now is almost zilch and if you do fold here, then it will be close to correct for others to call you with any 2 when it comes up to your turn to try and steal.

Win or lose, pushing is correct here IMO.

[mungpo]

You must push here while you still have enough chips to steal blinds. If you wait for another orbit, you won't have great position to steal more chips. Lets just hope that BB doesn't wake up to a huge hand.

[Daliman]

Yes. and it isn't close.
