Short stacked five handed

I realize this is probably a rudimentary situation for a lot of posters but this situation still gives me trouble. With 200 less I would probably push 100%. I find that 5 bbs is sort of a point of no return. What percentage would you push here?

NL Texas Hold'em $20 Buy-in + $2 Blinds(50/100)

CO ( $1200 )
Hero ( $700 )
SB ( $2100 )
BB ( $2500 )
UTG ( $1500 )

Blinds(50/100)
Dealt to Hero [ ? ? ]
UTG folds
CO Folds
Hero??

Depends. On the opponents. On my previous hands. Hands left til blinds go up. In a vacuum? Top 25-30% or so.

It's absolutely impossible to answer this question without having SOME clue of how loose SB and BB will call. It can be anywhere from any two cards to top 10%.

So what's your read on the blinds?

well, "depends" might be one answer.

assuming i just sat down...any PP, probably any Ace, two cards w/paint?

k, now let me go cheat...
