You have less than 4BB and are paying the BB next hand. This makes the true EV of folding much worse than in other positions.

Actually, the SB was eliminated the hand before this one, so I'm in the SB next hand, this change anything?

It changes it a little, but not enough to make it a fold.

IMO 4 BB is the critical number. When you have 4 BB your push doesn't quite offer the big blind 2-1 odds to call. I think this has a huge effect on the calling range you can expect. Below 4 BB the big blind will always have 2-1 or better pot odds and if it happens to be a bigger stack you are almost guaranteed a call.

When you are not on the bubble it is critical to make a move before dropping below 4BB if at all possible.
