Default For You Numbers Guys...\"2:1, < 1/3rd., Any Two\" Problem

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (4 handed) converter

SB (t1015)
Hero (t3770)
UTG (t1765)
Button (t1450)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t800</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero ???</font>



Now the problem here is with the rule (which I am a faithful adherant to) that if its for less than 1/3rd of your chips and the pot is laying you 2:1 then you should be calling All-Ins from the BB w/ any two cards.

Well this guy didn't push all-in, he raised. Here are the numbers:

Villain raises to t800, leaving 650 behind.
Hero has t3370 behind after posting BB of t400.
Pot is 200+400(blinds)+800=t1400

Now if he were all in, its an auto-call for me, as I'm getting 1400 for 400 more, over 3:1. But he has another 650 behind...if I raise him the pot will be t1400+650=t2050 with me having to contribute 1050 to get involved. This is still 2:1 and its not much for me...so I am thinking this is a push....


Any thoughts? He did minraise for most of his chips (screaming monster), should i not do it for this...

EDIT: I misread the stack sizes, corrected the numbers.
