Default Vote do you make this call?

Im in the BB with 200TC posted and have 1200TC left behind that. Next hand blinds go 400-200. 7 people at table, folded to cutoff who goes all in for 1500, which given the rising blinds I figure he will do with any pocket picture cards. Do you call?

18 players left and only 4 get paid, altho there have been occasions where the final 10 made a deal, basically, I feel I need to get some chips to be in the running, BTW there are 50,000 TC in play

With only 4 getting paid, I'd probably call. You're an 11-9 favorite over 2 paint unsuited, and 2-1 over Ax (where x is less than 8). If he's got a pocket pair it's about even money that you're ahead (he probably wouldn't push all-in with 22 or 33, and he'd probably just raise with AA or KK).

If 9 places were getting paid, I'd fold.

Lets see. He is in steal position (Cutoff) and low stacked when the blinds are about to double.

Call!

With 18 people left, why would you fold if they were paying 9 rather than 4? I think he said there was 50k in chips. So you need about 5k for the final table but you have to bust 9 more players. You are a long way from the money (9 or 4).
