Def don't fold, they can have a tonne of worse overpairs in their range, very rarely better and hands like 87 sometimes too. I didn't look at results before writing this btw

To make it a bit more readable I plugged it through the Hand History format.

It is moderately close but as the Btn was quite short and could easily push with a wide range, SB could still re-push quite wide it is still a call. If both players had you covered it would take about 30% equity to make the call chip break even, as one has a bit less this will effectively lower the needed equity a bit. My best guess is that you need 25 to 28% equity to make the call profitable so you could check with PokerStove. There are a few ways for the SB to have a 5 but also many other possibilities (I would discount JJ to AA for both players even though it works out that TT & JJ were the hands as both Btn and the SB would be likely to raise these preflop. Quite a strange and unusual hand really )

Thank you guys.

When the big stack ISO raised he would probably not do this with better than QQ. He might some times but mostly not I think.

How did the button not squeeze pre there?

Yea i know the hand was really weird and i was uncertain as to what range of hands they had....yea looking back i think it was probably a call as sb was playing like 48/27 over 80 hands....

2 dollar tournament means over pair on that board = the nuts...
