Re: \"worst overcall I have ever seen a 2+2er make. \"
[ QUOTE ]
BB's play is bad. Expecting an utg raiser to fold when you push into him with the chips this shallow is wishful thinking. Most scenarios he's going to get called and be dominated or racing against 3 or 4 overcards. It's a pretty trivial fold.

My first reaction was that the call with 55 was awful, but when I saw that BB is so short-stacked that he has to put up 20% of his chips to post the blind, I wasn't so sure. If he had a guarantee he was up against 4 overcards, for example, it's a trivially easy call. My guess is that if you ran all the possibilities, including the possibility that the original raiser will fold, it would turn out to be a correct desperation move, although I wouldn't stake my life on it.
