I have to call this, right?

Pay t510 to win t1010? Desparate short-stack could be making this move with less than ace high before the big blind hits him and kills his fold equity forever, right?

So now I'm short-stacked, and of course, two hands later, a different villan "has to call" because he's paying 320 to win 720. Oh, the irony:
