You are way ahead of MP2's likely range, which could be as wide as 22+, A2+, K9+, QJ, or something like that, or more likely 44+, A7+, KJ+...

SB's minraise could be worrisome. Either he has KK+ (about 30% of the time) or random donk range, which is at the very least 66+, AT+, KQ+.

You pwn these ranges. Push.
