MP1 (t760)
MP2 (t695)
MP3 (t2060)
Hero (CO) (t1445)
Button (t1635)
SB (t2910)
BB (t5495)
UTG (t1365)
UTG+1 (t1455)

Hero's M: 19.27

Preflop: Hero is CO with A

3 folds, MP2 bets t695 (All-In), 1 fold, Hero calls t695, 1 fold, SB raises to t1340, BB calls t1290

No reads on SB or BB, but as you can see they both have me covered. MP2 is very loose, which is why they are relatively short-stacked so soon, and are probably tilted

There is a lot of money in this pot, including a large portion of my stack, and my instinct is to shove

It's quite early in a 45 man $1.10 sit and go at Full Tilt

it's a fold there.

Although that should be an easy fold preflop to MP2's shove.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that MP2 has a very wide range. I'll edit my original post.

I think your choice was made when you called MP2.
You shouldn't be in this spot so early but I agree with your instincts.
Call and pray.

First off, what are the blinds at? (it might be a fold to the initial SS shove.. esp. with aggress players still to act).
Never flatting this shove here in this spot, I'm either iso-shoving or folding pre. (you're investing too much of your stack pre if you're ever considering folding to a re-raise by players still to act). ... I might flat w AA/KK in hopes of trapping but I'd think this would be pretty transparent (although maybe not in a $1 game).

Blinds are at 30/60. Accepting that I should not have called in the first place, now that the SB and BB have donated a big wad of chips to the pot, surely the pot odds now make it worthwhile to shove?

Yes, doubt you can fold here.. you're getting 5.82:1 for your last 750chips
From a cEV perspective, I think you need around 14.6% eq & with ranges I punched in for other players (fairly liberal with it).. you have ~17%
Pretty gross spot to get in in early levels

This is like a continuation bet. I ask myself before I put in the $675, that if there is a chance someone raises, would I call? I would not, so I would not have called in the first place. If I did put in the $675, which has been done here, I would call the raise.
