In this hand the button and small blind are both huge donks. BB is a semi-decent reg who squeeezes a lot. He knows I am raising relatively wide in the cutoff but probably won't squeeze with total trash because of the donks, so I am initially estimating a wide value range(something like ATs+, AJ+, KQs, 99+). So I 4bet as I am holding blockers and try and induce a fold.

When he shoves I reckon his range is JJ+/AK only, so if we are heads up then the 3:1 pot odds would make this a call. But here the button has also gone all in. His range will include a lot of aces so my equity has reduced.

How do I go about figuring out the odds I need to call here?

No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) - Hold'em Manager Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com
Button ($19.65)
SB ($71.70)
BB ($50.95)
UTG ($50.75)
MP ($60.10)
Hero (CO) ($50)
Preflop: Hero is CO with A, Q
2 folds, Hero bets $1.50, Button calls $1.50, SB calls $1.25, BB raises $7, Hero raises $17.50, Button raises $18.15 (All-In), 1 fold, BB raises $43.45 (All-In), Hero ???

No but seriously, AQ SUCKS in this situation. Yeah, you might have 28% equity against one person's range of JJ+ AK but 3way pots change everything. Just to put it in perspective, if you give the BB a range of:
42s,32s,42o,32o

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 24.811% 23.96% 00.85% 3783204504 134754796.00 { AQo }
Hand 1: 54.074% 53.22% 00.85% 8404078104 134754796.00 { JJ+, AKs, AKo }
Hand 2: 21.115% 20.97% 00.15% 3310862712 23431168.00 { 42s, 32s, 42o, 32o }

Personally, I don't even think the reg shoves JJ here which gives you even less equity.
