I think this is an easy call. The short stack has &lt; 5 BBs left and most likely will push with anything resembling a hand. Possibly even less, since it was folded to him on the button. You've got a good chance of being way ahead here.

I will call T380 to win the T630 that's in the pot. Even if you lose you will still have enough to steal. You will often be in a coin flip situation against 2 overs, but you will also be up against stuff like Ace little or even King little often enough to make it worth calling. I would muck 2s in this spot, but not 8s.
