I ran this through SitNGoWiz which assured me it is a fold regardless of their push and call ranges. It makes sense because of the likelihood one of them going out, but with only 4xBB remaining if I fold, and a good chance of tripling my stack I thought I had made a really stupid decision at the time.

Interestingly, if the button is pushing any two and the SB is calling about 60% it is actually pretty close. I would have thought it would be closer to a push if he was calling a lower % than this due to the higher chance he will win and nobody being knocked out, but it actually becomes more negative under 60%.

One thing to consider is that if the button wins, you're third if you call, and at least second if you fold.

In general, you'll need a monster to call two all-ins. I'd call KK+ here. If you switch my stack with SB's stack, I'd call with QQ+, AKs.

I think I'd go ahead and call with QQ if the players are loose, but in a $6.50 where people are too tight, even QQ may be a fold. AK is not even close.
