[glengarry]

Good points and sorry, I edited my post before reading yours. My thinking was that SB doesn't have very strong hand. If I'm right that CO is raising with middling to moderately strong opening hand, he will fold facing caller and raiser, then SB will not play his not very strong hand OOP, even getting 8-3 odds (okay that is possibly weak thinking and didn't figure the pot odds I was giving well enough). My thought was win 1500 for myself without risking all my chips -- even if I fold, my M is 6, going down to 3.5 soon so still have some small room to work.
