    You have to call 1865 to win 4865, so you're getting more than 2to1 on your money, so the odds are technically correct to call with any 2 cards.

    I'd call 100%.

    Odds wise, you would have to be 38% to win the hand to be able to call 1800 into 4800 which you're only just less than if against 2 overs (33%), however you have 19K so it's less than 10% of your stack to call with the chance of KO'ing a player, you have 1200 of your stack invested with no player to act behind, plus it's fun to win with 72o.

    If it's around the bubble or already in the money, knocking out the player will increase your prize as well so you can include the money you would win (if you KO the player) and add it to the pot effectively.
