Forty2u: ?

I debated it for a few seconds and called, not sure it was the correct decision

Pros for calling:
1. AA can hold on vs 2 opponents
2. scooping this hand will give me a nice chip lead
3. Chance to make a low hand

Cons of calling:
1. At least one and probably both aces are dead
2. At least one of them must have a better low hand
3. No chance for flush, weak chance of str8
4. I still have about 10BB left

 After thinking about it a bit more I am pretty convinced that calling was the correct move, one more reason for calling is that winning the side pot by itself will keep me around the same chip stack
