Running for the red line

I was pleased to drag a few pots today, played well against some bad agressive players, picked my way through the board and extracted some great value with some well timed agression.

A three way 150 BB pot getting shipped my way with AJc at 2NL helped a lot,
but it was a dice roll I think:

I had no reads on either villain, button had played every hand since I sat down raising 5x (I have him in HEM at 50/50 for 4 hands), sb I have at 73/18 over 11 hands.

When Button shoved I was ready to lay it down, but when sb just flatted leaving .75 behind I decided he was not in good shape and that my hand strength, equity and 31% pot odds justified the call. I’m not sure about that idea in the cold light of this blog. So I’ll post it on the forums.

I wonder if in this readless situation I should have folded. BTN’s range is pretty wide, but small blind should be no more that 10% here. But most importnatly: another -100 bb today would most likely have made me a bit jumpy! Soft tilt is the worst…
