Default 3/6NL squeeze gone bad

Is my play really all that bad here? My thought process on the hand was this: I was getting 2.5:1 to call the SB shove. The button is a solid player but I don't really see him cold calling the initial raise AND cold calling the squeeze with a strong hand. I don't really see how the guy in the SB can have a phenomenal hand. So by isoraising there i think the button folds 99% of the time and I get HU w/ decent odds.

SB overcalls first time around then shoves? Looks like a pretty good hand to me, even with 50BBs. Calling is marginal pf but making it $619 is pretty awful, I mean, isolating with T8o?!

i basically decided that the guy just got fed up and shoved in a marginal holding, 66-TT, AJ+ maybe even KQ. I didn't really see him having JJ+ here. when i stove that range i have about 35% equity so if the button isn't still in the hand i'm definitely calling there. My concern is that if i call the button is probably gonna call too then i'm in a huge pot oop w/ basically no hand. I was almost 100% the button wasn't going to come along for the ride if i raised there. given those reads is it still a bad play?

Unless both SB and button are bad/tilting, I think this is pretty bad. Your best outcome is that both have a small pair and any remotely decent player would not play a SP like that.

Also interested to know why you were so sure that the button wouldn't call your push. His line looks reasonably strong.
