Neither of the players had gone allin recently. I found the spot pretty tough because i had great pot odds while my card were way behind their range, and if i folded i would pay SB in the very next hand and have one orbit to try to double (not having fold equity). What do you think is a good calling range for the spot? What do you take in consideration in those super shortstacked spots? Thanks

Well you need 23 percent to make the call. You have almost exactly that against two hands of unpaired overcards and about 14% if you're facing an overpair or two, so I think this is a fold.

Being the BB and having a quarter of your stack already in the middle doesn't give you such good odds against a couple of strong ranges. If it's more like a third of your stack and you are against a wide range (e.g. SB jam) then it gets a bit closer.

Thanks LektorAJ, I guess just assuming I am pot comitted when I really am not is pretty unprofitable.
