Two short stacks push, what do you do in BB?
 

Party 10+1 NL
Blinds 150/300
Total number of players : 5

Seat 2: (1310)
Seat 4: (2599)
Seat 6: Button (940)
Seat 8: SB (745)
Seat 9: Hero (BB) (2406)

Dealt to Hero [ Qs, 2h ]
Seat 2 folds.
Seat 4 folds.
Button raises (940) to 940
Button is all-In.
SB calls (595)
SB is all-In.

Hero?

The last ten hands or so have been nothing but an all-in blind stealing fest. Both the button and SB are average Party 10+1 players and are loose with betting and calling standards. I figured SB was going to call with a wide range of hands because of his low stack. Since I am in the BB and have contributed 300 chips already, it takes 640 more for me to call a pot of 1985. Is this a strict pot odds situation that demands a call or do you fold this?

Thanks in advance

I'm relatively new to NL tournaments, but I think this is an easy fold. You're getting good pot odds, but your hand is just plain lousy. Not worth it to risk 1/4 or more of your stack on.

I think it's a pretty easy fold.

Despite wanting very badly to just fold this, I forced myself to call because of the good odds, and for curiosity sake, here's what happened:

Button shows [ Ad 2c ]
SB shows [ As Qd ]

** Dealing Flop ** : [ 7c, Kd, 7d ]
** Dealing Turn ** : [ 2s ]
** Dealing River ** : [ Ks ]

Button and SB split with two pairs, Kings and Sevens with Ace kicker.

Easiest...fold...ever.

Agreed... The more I look at this and the more I think about it, the more I realize it is an easy fold and thus regret posting this hand. My goal was to post challenging situations while still holding the title of "Stranger". Blast, defeated.

Fold! Don't risk any of your FE in calling this. I'd fold if only the bigger short stack pushed. The fact that another came along usually means a good hand for the second one.

Wow, that's awesome. The only way you can win is with a full house, heart flush, or a Q straight.

Split with a 2 straight. Talk about dominated.
