Red face Fold or Call

I've been playing in an internet ten man Sit N go game
It is down to the last 4 the top 3 get paid

I am the chiplead with 6000 chips the other three players all have between 1800 and 2200
The Blinds are 100/200

The BB is a calling station who has not been seen bluffing or defending his blinds so far.

I'm Dealt: in the small blind

It Folds to me I raise to 800
The Big Blind raises all in to 2150

Should I call or should I fold?,
it would cost me 1350 to call for a pot of 2950.

That is not a strong enough hand to call the raise. Without a doubt, fold.

Why feed the short stacks, especially when on the bubble?

Well the pros on calling would be the pot odds, a little better than 2 to 1
My K3suited is weak but would have a 30% chance of winning against most possible hands.

The Cons are the players playing style and the fact were on the bubble means it is very likely a legit strong hand, also if i did call I would have lost my strong chiplead, backing out now would leave me with 5000, more than enough to continue stealing blinds and get me into the money

also reckon the raise was correct considering the player is very loose and it is a weak hand.

The only players that can possibly answer your question are the other players at the table and yourself. We haven't seen a single hand played so how can we offer any thing but I guess at what you should do. Poker isn't a game that by doing the right thing will give you the outcome that we want. How many times have you play the hand as best as you can only to lose in the end. You have compiled info on each player still in the game just by playing with them so use that to beat them, don't count on what a pro of anyone elles would or might do, do whats right in this situation to win. Trust in ones game is all each of has going into any game. Use what you have learnt in your poker life up to this hand. Think about it and chances are you have been in this kind of hand before of have seen it play out. I'll bet that you have seen it more than once and you know that any thing can happen so play it and live with the outcome good or bad. Some times the best win is a nice lay down (NLD) sure it's swetter to stack the chips after the hand but that's not always possible.

ye I put it on here as its such a border line decision I wanted to gauge people's opinions check wether i did the right thing.

I folded and went on to win the SNG but am not sure wether it was the right decision as my pot odds were probably good enough but on the other hand perhaps my chiplead was more important than obeying the odds

I like the fold deco. You might be gettin yur pot odds, but thats about all yur gonna be getting is some 30 odd percent chance to win (woo hoo!!!). Sounds like the guy was just waiting for that big starting hand. I wouldnt wanna give him those extra 1350 chips, having 5k leaves you in great shape still, and good job on the win.

I can see a call here , if the calling station wins the hand , you can let him hold your chips for you ! ( for awile )

Untwisted is right there isn't a right or wrong play here just go with your gut !

Given the circumstances I'd have opted to protect the lead. Since you won the tournament in the end, I think the question of wether it was the right thing to do has already been answered
