Your equation is nice and all, but Metereon put it best:

The overcall isn't guarantee and has a value of less than one BB. The raise is worth more than 1 BB.

I really think it just simplifies the whole problem to think of it that way. Your hand is just so good it's not even funny here.

Not saying that you're wrong, but I'm not yet convinced.

Given the description, button is calling 1 bet pretty much always. 2 bets, probably not so much.

I agree that it is most likely that UTG is full of [censored]. But 90%+, I don't know. And what do we do if 3-bet? I can't fold so basically then we are losing 3 bets.

I think the question for me is, do we win 4 bets often enough to overcome the times that we lose 3? Maybe so, but I'm still pondering. Either way, I don't think this is as obvious as you say. I may come around though, don't give up on me yet.
