Default Re: Well, the pot says I\'m getting 2:1....

This is a very clear call IMO, everyone who says otherwise is giving you crap advice. At WORST case its slightly +ev, and then you can take a look at some other factors and try to figure out whether its worth it, or whether you should sacrafice the EV. At best case its huge +EV (If they are pushing any 2, which some players will definitely try here), in which case you are making a huge mistake by folding.

pergesu gave an example of the EV gained against someone with maniacal standards using eastbay's powertools, however I wouldn't expect anyone to be that TIGHT - By folding you are just letting your opponents exploit you the way you try to exploit them, by pushing and hoping they fold when they shouldnt.

A good player will raise from the SB here probably over 90% of the time, because its the last chance for any semblence of FE, especially since we know that players at this level fold when they shouldn't. Don't be one of those players. It's incredible how everyone on this forum talks about how dumb the opponent's are because even when it appears you have no folding equity, the opponents fold anyway. Now the exact same thing is happening, and everyone is suggesting a fold.
