Default TT - bubble call getting good odds multiway

I thought this hand was interesting. It seems that calling, pushing, or folding are all viable options here. If I call and UTG calls, I get 2:1 and get better than 33% equity against a normal range of hands from pokerstove. But calling opens up the possibility that utg pushes, and then I probably have to call anyways given the pot odds. If a push, utg may folds, adding his dead money to the pot, and also improves my chance of winning at showdown. On the other hand, I have a good stack and the table is fairly tight, so those 900T chips can probably be used more effectively to steal for the next few orbits if utg folds (after I fold) or calls and loses. Well, I'm rambling now. I called in the hand, but I'm not happy about my reasoning.

I don't think calling's an option. You need to either decide you're ahead or behind, and push/fold this one. If you call and fold, that's just bleeding chips.
