so i've been through this situation many times. i always have trouble folding pot odds like this, but i never know if it's worth the possible jump in payscale.

cliffnotes of hand history: I have 2.2k, i'm the big blind, blinds are 1k/2k. the button shoves to isolate me, but the small blind has a good enough hand to call him.

should i fold the 2-7, in case the small blind eliminates the button, or should i just call getting insane pot odds?

You're between the proverbal rock and a hard place. If you've been playing tight to climb the pay scale, you have run out of room to fold.

really tough decision, I guess it depends on the jump on pay scale. But yea this is really sick I would probably call though given that you only have a couple of antes left.
