Villain is a total fish. What do you make out of his play? The turn card surely didnt help him.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (4 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)
Button (t5980)
SB (t1770)
Hero (t3755)
UTG (t1995)
Preflop: Hero is BB with A , 5.
1 fold, Button calls t100, SB completes, Hero checks.
Flop: (t300) A , 2, 2 (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets t200, Button folds, SB calls t200.
Turn: (t700) 7 (2 players)
SB bets t1470 (All-In), Hero ???

SB shows 2x because he's in the small blind and could be holding any two?

I cry and let this go. I agree that this is a strange line but you only beat A3 and A4 and as biondino said, opp could easily have completed the SB with 2x.
The reason I cry when I let it go is that this kind of overbet is very often a bluff or some other weak hand that doesn't want a call, so it could be a flush draw or some other hand that really really wants you to go away.

You don't even beat A3/A4. All you beat is a total bluff, this isn't the time to make a stand.

I agree that villain could hold any two here. But wouldn't he want to trap me some more with a 2? He could easily check to me hoping I fire another bullet and then shove over me. So I was pretty sure he doesnt have a 2 my guess was either a bigger ace or (more likely) a bluff. I guess the line I took wont get much love here, but I called and villain showed me 99.

Although you know what the villain held now, if he put you on a flush draw, he has to push to get you out of the hand. He's representing a 2 or a bigger kicker. Being 2nd stack at the table, its better to pick a fight in a better position. Fortunate for you, he was bluffing!

fold that shizzle. Too likely he has a 2 or a bigger A.

I tend to call these a lot, lately it has been a hand so I am trying to stop. Yesterday I had someone shove 1500 over my 60 raise at 10/20 with AK.

Be happy to fold with 30+ BB and find a better spot. This is precisely why I occasionally throw out the donk overbet with a monster, especially against someone who chat-heckles a lot or if I've pwned him recently. People want to see if you have it. I've been guilty of it myself.
