Folds to SB who pushes
I know I'm getting the odds to call but if I call and lose (which I most likely will with a piece of crap hand like 5J), I 'm left w/ a stack of ~1000...which means my FE will be gone. However, if I fold, I still have a stack of ~1600...good FE for when I push.
Go with pot odds and call or preserve FE for when I'm the one pushing? What's the correct move?

One key to this problem is that you have to go through BS everytime. How do you see his calling standards? Because if you think he might have a tightish calling range when he i getting 1.8-1 or whatever, I'd wait and push the next hand if folded to me. Good news is also that UTG next hand might elect to push and goto war given he is losing 600 of 1600 over 2 hands. I could fold this. Its tough but you have to put SB literally on any 2 everytime and even then it sucks (which is probably right on here.)
