Lets first assert:
We want to maximize our chance to win.
To maximize our chance to win we want to maximize our chance to get chips from him.
This isn't a "freeroll", if he doubles through us we've given up an advantage.
Any disagreement here?

Lets consider:
72o wins 35% against a random hand
But he won't call with a random hand...
72o wins 32% vs AKo
72o wins 28% vs 55
72o wins 11% vs 88

Folding has an expection of 0
Stealing gets us 1300
Lets say we win 30% of the time if he calls, then we expect to win (7120 * 2 * .3) 4272 at a cost of 6670. An expection of -2398

Let s be our steal % and solve for the break even point
1300 * s + (-2398 * (1-s)) > 0
1300s -2398 + 2398s > 0
3698s > 2398
s > 0.64

He must fold more than 64% of the time for that steal to have a positive expection.

Hmmm... interesting...

I still think it's a pass but it's really close.

edit2: I can't fucking do math today. Closer than I thought...
