If the limper had raised, I'd fold. But here I'd call. Two things are likely:

1) The limper will fold, especially if you call. 1 time in 1000 he'll be trapping with AA. 10% of the remainder he'll be a donk who calls with 44. The rest of the time he's done with the hand.

2) The pusher doesn't have much, and is trying to pull something akin to a PVS. 10% of the time he'll be trapping with a big pair. The rest of the time you're either a flip vs 88 or way ahead of his Ax.

In any case the pusher has you covered, so there's no squeeze possible. Just push and pray.

I think this is a no-brainer call. Without reads in a 20+2 the limper could have anything and is very likely to fold, and the pusher is pushing many hands you dominate. You are ahead and have nice pot odds.

My only concern here is that people commonly raise allin in these situations with pockets (77-JJ), maybe because they don't like playing the flop. I think your small stack makes this a definate push though.

I call here, he's on the button, his range can be pretty wide. Sometimes you will see a pair, sometimes Ax with x down to around T/J, so it's got to be worth it, especially with the overlay of the 250 even if he does have a pair.
