Default Make this UGLY call?

This hand's pretty interesting I think. Villain is fairly solid, but not particularly bold or imaginative.

Level XII: 200 Ante 500/1,000 Blinds (100 Minimum Chip)
Average Stack: 30,000 (10,000 starting chips)
Remaining Players: 5 (15 started)
Seat 3 : Sailor Moe starts with 60,900
Seat 5 : SuperFlop starts with 28,200
Seat 6 : coach1126 starts with 16,800
Seat 9 : CieloAzor starts with 31,100
Seat 10 : Shadowfax starts with 13,400
Seat 9 : CieloAzor has the dealer button

-------------------------

If there were anybody still to act behind me, it's tough to even consider a call here. But with 27700 already in the pot and a price of 8700 to call, I'm being laid about 3.2 to 1 on this call and need to win about 24% of the time to break even.

If villain has a T, I'm usually an 85/15 dog. (KT has me almost dead, 98/2)

If villain has something like KJ, I'm a 67/33 dog.

If villain has an underpair to the board (can be counterfeited), it's almost a coinflip (54.5/45.5).

Of course I didn't know the exact math of the situation at the table, but I had a general idea of what kind of shape I could be in and the odds were very comely. I didn't feel villain needed a T to make this push, but I didn't think I could have possibly had the best hand, unless villain had KQ exactly.

Anybody like/hate the call?
