Default 11$, Tough? spot with overpair

Level 1 so no reads.
Button thought about 7 seconds after my raise.
SB insta-called after Button pushed.

MP1 (t1960)

MP3 (t1940)
CO (t2320)
Button (t3100)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

I will most likely shove the flop after SB bets. There is t1040 in the pot and I am happy to take that down without a fight.

As played: After raising you just have to call. There are t5440 in the pot and you have to call 2140. In a $11 STT on Party I don't think you can get away from this even if it stinks hella like a set.

Easy call. By raising to 800 instead of pushing, you are trying to get more money in the pot, so you have to call when the villains oblige. I think you see JJ and QQ here a lot.

Thanks for the answers. I came really close to folding but just couldn`t do it.
They both had me with nuts and second nuts. But I think calling is the right move here.
