Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought you were talking about a situation where it's "only a couple chips more" for the BB to call. You haven't specifically stated any stack sizes yet, so it's impossible for me to tell you what his exact pot odds would be without that information.

Here's an example: Say the SB is 1000 and the BB is 2000. The short stack has 2200 chips and pushes in from the button. The SB folds. You're the BB, looking at a 5200 chip pot and it's going to cost you 200 ("a couple more") chips to call. You're getting 5200/200 = 26:1 pot odds to make this call. You simply can not fold, no matter what two cards you have. 72 vs AA isn't even close to a 26:1 dog.

So, you call with your 72o and the board is KQJ72. You win. I believe saying sorry here is more about condolences - as in, "I feel your pain, dude" - than it is an apology.
