Default ($114) overcall on bubble w/ KQ?

Shorty is DDBeast, pusher is DutchSlugger. I figure I'm ahead of Dutch's range (comments on this from ppl who have played w/ him?) Calling means DD has to beat us both (and I have to lose to Slugger) for this to be real bad.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t400 with t25 antes (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

CO (t6220)
Button (t2980)
SB (t1600)
Hero (t2700)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="red">Button raises to t2955 (All-in)</font>, SB calls t1375 (All-in), Hero ?

If CO has been punishing the bubble, I guess I can see an overcall here. Normally, I wouldnt though in the heat of the moment. If you fold and DD wins, button is left with ~1300 with him UTG against the big stack's BB, which still leaves you in a favorable position.

You're 55/45 against Dutch if he's pushing 50%. If shorty has called with top 30%, you're only just ahead of him too. You have a narrow edge in equity versus both.

This reminds me why I hate calling AIs with KQo. It looks pretty but...

ewww why would you want to get involved here? I would say the button has to have something, he knows the shortie is looking to get it in.

He's certainly not pushing trash but he's a somewhat losing player who is pretty aggressive.

Looks close but I'm leaning towards a fold.

DDBeast should know pusher's range and if it is wide he can jump in here with a lot of hands. looks pretty close but i fold. after this hand you will be itm or dutch will be down to 1400 chips, so you will still be in good shape. plus DDBeast probably knows you are a calling station and will not push into your BB if he does win.

He needs to be shoving close to 50% of the time (~32% equity). Meh I'd probably just fold it.

Yeah, I don't think he's shoving 50%. I could actually see him shoving something like 22+, A2+,K2+, Q9s+, QTo+...seems like a fold.

i like a fold here, i see the point of making it REALLY hard for DDbeast to survive this all in. But I let them go after eachother here, and pick a better spot
