Less than 10% of your stack to call.

Left with 30 BB's if you call and then fold flop.

Potential to win big, big pot.

I call.

my head was saying call but my gut was saying fold, if you was in this situation would you go with, head or gut feeling

yeah im happy to call 750 here with that stack and it can potentially go 4 handed to the flop it would just suck if Gizmo squeezes

Instant call. These are the situations you're looking for in a MTT. You will never win a MTT by folding in these spots (and mathematically it's wrong to do so anyway: you're likely to double up if you hit your set, maybe treble up, so are getting 12/1 at least for your 750).

If they have both tiny stacks of, say, 2000 chips, then you should probably fold. But the situation as described is clear (in a live game you may have a tell that the BB will re-raise, so that's potentially different).

Tricky, am not sure tbh, if you play hindsight poker on the flop you'll always be kicking yourself.

I'm probably leaning towards folding.  Your getting around 3/1 on your money against two guys stacks who crush you, plus your totally out of position.  Much of the time your left having to check fold your hand for 10% of your stack.  For me it would likely depend on how the raiser and caller are playing.  If I feel I'll see checks I probably call, if they are always going to bet I probably save to 10% or so for a better spot....maybe
