I think this is probably quite close especially if neither them are rocks, but im swaying towards fold but cos of YOUR stack size which does seem to have some fold equity which it won't have if you call and lose.

Ok 14k to win 47k so I reckon we need about 23% equity in the pot.

 52,295,635,854  games   108.500 secs   481,987,427  games/sec

Board:
Dead: 

   equity    win    tie          pots won    pots tied   
Hand 0:    22.314%     22.09%    00.23%       11549694667    119325014.50   { 7c5s }
Hand 1:    31.728%     30.42%    01.31%       15906798556    685815616.00   { 22+, A2s+, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, A3o+, KTo+, QTo+, JTo }
Hand 2:    45.958%     44.70%    01.26%       23377298443    656703557.50   { 66+, ATs+, KQs, ATo+, KQo }

Looks close but I fold.

Thanks for the replies.  I posted as I found this a difficult spot to lay down.  Although I had a half decent chip stack, I really wanted to go for the win & felt with the blinds high and with only 5xBB Left that I could justify a call in this spot.  Ive read a lot on Blonde forum about any 2 cards with less than 10xBB is the way to go?

The payout wasnt to good with 5 - 15 payout being £50 each, and thought that for my 5 hours spent that could this really be a good spot to go with even with not such a good starting hand to get up the cash ladder so I could really try and build a chip stack for FT.

Anyhow I did pass.  Cut off flipped    & Small blind  .

Board came  three clubs

I think it played on my mind after, that I should have called the extra 14k to give myself a chance of such a large pot but with the starting hand range that Longy has highlighted that I would have been pretty dominated by both so passed it.  When I saw the board I was a bit annoyed but wondered what I should have done without seeing the board.

Made FT, with 40k chips and blinds at 6k/12k and my push with QJ on the button on second round to steal the blinds was called by 99 in the BB and I didnt hit and was out in 8th place. 

The earlier hand played on my mind when I thought I should have called which would have given me more fire power on FT.

Thing is, judging by the structure and the average stack size it kinda doesn't really matter whether you call or fold here over the longrun.
