fold, call raise, all three are okay as you are last to act now.
al showed how a fold is right. now someone show how the other two can be correct. its not a math thingy.

A call can be correct if you want to risk getting more money in a side pot off a great flop than the money risked pre-flop to the all-in bet.

Basically, it's a strategy of hoping to land a great hand on the flop, and making more in the side pot against the other 2 callers than the $50 invested against the all-in player.

More risk, but greater value if everything plays out right.

Raising is a good play also, in my opinion, due to the fact the all-in raiser lost a big pot earlier, and could potentially be steaming, waiting to reload his stack. Taking advantage of that knowledge is reason enough to isolate him with a decent hand.
