I think call is the prudent play here. BB isn't folding in most cases.

If Hero (who is covered by the button) calls, and BB looks down at his BB shat he can...

(a) Call with his shat against two players who like their hands and hope to win a 3-way pot, or

(b) Fold knowing the button has a reasonable chance of beating Hero, and if that happens he wins $600.

The fishier the player, the more likely they are to "fold and hope." It probably takes a pretty good hand to make it +EV to call, and even then a lot of players wouldn't know better.

I think most BB's fold the vast majority of their hands here when Hero calls (if this were a $33 online SNG or something, maybe not, but there's a lot more $$ at stake here and that scares most people even more).
