I thought that my hand was too weak for an overcall. Am I insane to fold for one bet in a 7 BB pot?

Raise preflop next time. Other than that I think your play is fine in this hand.

Shoulf have raised pre-flop with ATo and on the Button - take control right away.

After that TO ME the hand was played as I would play it. The SB raise COULD have been him protecting his Ten worse kicker (like I would do).

I would probably have called the river if it were just me and SB in the hand, as his flop raise could have been just for protection. Then again, if MP1 weren't involved the pot would be so small I would probably fold anyway, so it's close.

As the hand actually played out with MP1, I would definitely not overcall with 2nd pair.
