Re: PL $1/2 - NFD and an overpair
Your shouldn't be worrying about the SB in this spot. If you push and they both call, awesome, you are getting it in with a solid overlay the vast majority of the time. If you push and only the UTG player calls any equity you need is made up by the dead money in the pot. You also have a pair other than your QQ so if he does actually have aces you probably have one additional out, plus the backdoor straight draw. In short, never fold, just calling doesn't accomplish anything unless the SB will fold a marginal draw for $170 that he would've called for $116 (not likely).
Preflop is fine, especially if the SB is likely to call behind.
