Poker Stars 10E No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t300.00/t600.00 Blinds - 4 players

Hero (BB): t3795.00 6.33 BBs
CO: t2950.00 4.92 BBs
BTN: t3500.00 5.83 BBs
SB: t3255.00 5.42 BBs

Pre Flop: (t900) Hero is BB with Q :diamond: J :spade:
2 folds, SB raises to t3205, 1 fold

Do you consider this as a standard call?
I found out that I´m avoiding calling it, simply because I´ll push 1st in about 80% next hand.
The point is according to SNG wiz it´s good only if villain is pushing 67%+
(which is of course possible, he´s reg)
Here´s nash link for the situation which makes it even clearer:

My point is, is this really standard call? Does bubble influence our decision here?
Is it a big leak not calling there?

in a vacuum it is a really standard call.

if you think you can gain more future EV by shoving into fishy players on your left then you might want to pass up a close call here so you can take further advantage next hands.

the problem with passing up here is that the SB will gain the chip lead and he can shove ATC on the BTN and ATC in the CO then you are in a folding war. so I would argue that this is not a good spot to fold against a reg SB because of the stack set-up. but if the SB was an unknown who doesnt know how to abuse the bubble it might be a fold.
