Hero $800 Just lost a big hand and rebouht full
Villian1: $1200 Opening a ton of pots
Villian: $215, Seems frustrated, He's stuck 400 on his first buyin
Villian 1 opens to $25 UTG+1, Hero calls with 33, MP calls, Folded to Villian who goes all-in for his $215.
Villian 1 folds, Pot is $290 and its $190 for me to call. I have a good gut instinct that the player behind me is going to fold.
How often are you calling here? Since Villian knows V1 is raising a wide range Villian could be shoving with KQ+ IMO but also 22+.
I only have $25 invested but with these dynamics are you calling or folding.

This is an obvious fold... You should never be calling all-ins with small pairs.
Best case scenario he has two overs and it's 50/50, any pair has you dominated, even a suited connector like JTs is a favorite against a small.
Not to mention there's still a 3rd player who opened in early position...
Trivial fold.

If he's shoving any pair it's pretty bad for your range. You need 40% equity to call, and he needs to have a LOT of unpaired hands for you to call.
quity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 37.852% 36.97% 00.88% 550785204 13093842.00 { 33 }
Hand 1: 62.148% 61.27% 00.88% 912731592 13093842.00 { 22+, ATs+, KJs+, AJo+, KQo }
As you can see, this is a fold. And there's no guarantee that the player behind you doesn't have something like TT and decide you're not that strong and tag along.
He'd have to be really light here for you to consider calling:

This seems like one of those spots where you are trying to rationalize gambling. This spot with 33 is very rarely, if ever a correct play and even when it is (which is almost never) we are seeking out tremendous variance. Pick a better spot. You say you just lost a big pot? Take a five minute break and then hunker down and win it back.

I'd call with AQ+/88+ probably... maybe AJ/77 not sure.
as played, i'd fold.
