Is my overpair any good?

Without any live reads a fold is pretty awful here.

I agree and understand that a lot of people would think my laydown here, as well as my flop bet, is horrible. Plenty of people stick to a 'standard' type of play. This was just one example where I decided to deviate from what I would normally do because I felt the situation warranted it. I was truly concerned about what the old guy cold-called my reraise with and figured to be ahead of just a few hands in his possible range on the flop. Rather than stick in all of my remaining chips I decided to probe. This was a very unusual situation for me.

I feel that the story told throughout the hand indicates strongly that I am beat. It wasn't strictly about pot odds for me. I knew I was getting better than 3:1 but also figured I was a possible 9:1 dog. In my mind the villain here knew I practically had to call with any reasonable hand. Even AK would be getting proper odds to call here vs any smaller pair and I'm pretty sure he knew that.

QFT.. the pot contains t15000, and it costs you t5000 to call. You have waaay more than 25% equity here. I think you are a favorite against villains range.

If you lost this hand, well then it was variance. Folding here would be a disaster.
