    Your call is 3:1.
    If you "know" the cards you have 26% equity - a tiny overlay.
    If unknown - if either of them have 88+ you are toast - less than 15%

    Fold & pass the blinds & you still have m=11, you'll find a better spot.

    my 2 cents

    i believe its a bad leak to always call in spots like these
    with hands like 72 83...etc unless your getting reallllllllly good pot odds

    Save your chips and fold. I don't care what the immediate pot odds are. Your chips in a super-turbo are better served providing you with some fold equity on a future hand.
