Fold. It's conceivable that you are already behind at least one of these players, and even if you aren't you're certainly getting called by at least one of them (probably both). If button is any kind of reasonable player, he didn't just call off nearly 20% of his stack with anything that he would fold after you make your move and the big stack calls (as you said he's destined to do).

Racing 44 against two opponents isn't winning poker. Fold.

Wow, I'm really surprised by the responses. Obviously, it's an all-in or fold situation. I'd push here, hoping for a coin flip with overlay from the blind+ante+someone's 4k call. I would only fold if I thought there was an 80+% chance that they would both call.

It depends.

If, given the players' history at the final table I feel like big stack will isolate his entire raising range and button will fold a significant portion of his range, then I'll go ahead and push.

Readless it's a fold, though.
