BB too short with blinds too big to push? ($50+$5)

Another hand from the other posters $50+$5 HH. I think the BB is too short to push here and must call with a wide range of hands.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (6 handed) converter

Button (t3065)
Hero (t2300)
BB (t920)
UTG (t2030)
MP (t1290)
CO (t395)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

Against most typical opponents, pushing should be +EV.

If it wasn't suited, then an argument could be made for folding. That would be based on future FE and other factors hard to measure.

IMO, this is a *clear* push.

Alright, role reversal game. Assume that you are the BB. What range of hands do you call with?
