I encountered the following hand yesterday:
150 players remaining in the 22+1RA, 63 players paid (430 started)
Blinds 150-300 ante 25.
Folded to the CO (T9000), who has been opening almost every time that was folded to him, minraises to 600.
I have AJo in the button (T7225) and I reraise to T3000.
SB wakes up with a hand as he instapushes his T8600 stack.
CO folds.
I used my whole timebank on this one. I have roughly the correct odds to call, since I'm getting 2.7:1 (4225 to get a 11400 pot) and I am most probably in a 30-70situation (AA-TT + AK). The few times I win I get a stack that I could probably ride deep, but if I fold I still have 13 BBs, which is not totally desperate.
I did actually fold on the reasoning that I can play a very good short stack game, but was left wondering if I am overestimating my abilities and should just call in that kind of situation when the pot odds dictate a call way behind is still correct. Any thoughts?

Yea, I am never folding there. Never.
I am questioning the reraise amount. Maybe 3000 is a little too much because it does commit you to make that call. Maybe if you raise to 2000, it would still be the same and yet it would give you room to fold?
I would usually raise it up around 3x whatever the raise, so 2000 would have been correct, and then I would have been able to fold.
I made the mistake of raising to 3000 because I actually wanted to look pot committed against that raiser (I was going to call no matter what), but my plan was trumped when the SB woke up with a hand.
I really think I played it awfully...
