Blinds have just gone up, and of course it happens right when I get put in the BB! CO is waterwolves, Button is a random who is pretty loose aggressive and small blind is a fairly tightish random player.. Considering that we are so short stacked compared to everyone, and the fact that we'll certainly have no fold equity next hand when waterwolves is in the BB, should I just call here even though it's certainly -EV ICM wise? If so, how wide do you call here?

In the actual game I folded this, got bad cards in the next 3 hands, and then called in the big blind with Q8o rather than QTo and this time I had less chips.. Could be results oriented and that I got unlucky not to find a spot to put my chips, but I feel like I misplay spots like this quite often.. All thoughts are greatly appreciated.

BTN: t4650 M = 6.64
SB: t3137 M = 4.48
Hero (BB): t1590 M = 2.27
CO: t4123 M = 5.89

Pre Flop: (t700) Hero is BB with T Q
1 fold, BTN raises to t800, 2 folds

I think u r still a tad too deep to be calling off here. I don't think BTN is raising that wide as he knows he doesnt have a whole lot of FE against you and SB is still pretty deep. I think if you were a little shorter than fine (1200-1300), but I think you have to let this one go.

fold, then shove atc into w.w. next hand if folded around

4bb is too much to call off with QTo
