Is everyone content to fold in a situation like this?

Nope, I'd rather not send the message that my BB is ripe for the taking.

Isn't this situation similar to the rule about calling a single all-in with any 2 cards if you are getting 2:1 for less than a third of your stack??

In this case, you are calling a single all-in, the pot is laying you roughly 1:1, and you are roughly 50% to win the hand. By the same logic as the previous example, shouldn't it be a clear call as long as it's for less than half your stack?? In this case it's for significantly less than half your stack which should make it an attractive option.

What am I missing?
