Do you look at odds at this point or look more at the stacks of the players and let this one go? If you let it go, you will still be in good shape compared to the other players, but the BB is up to 600 at this point.

760 to call into a pot of 2460 so you are getting more than 3:1 odds...thus you need to be able to win 25% of the time.
