Default Stars $5R - QQ after rebuy period

Reads - BB is a super LAG, was gamb00ling with almost any two during rebuy period and still seems to have his foot on the gas. SB has shown down mostly high-card hands (AK, KQ, KTs) and showed some bluffs after large overbets during rebuy period.

Image - I have been playing solid poker and probably seemed like a rock. I was up to 12K until level 3, when I put a 5K stack all-in with flopped set of Queens against his flopped flush and failed to improve.

Most of the table was playing pretty tight, even during the rebuy, except for the BB who was in for at least $60.

<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t600</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, SB calls t525, BB calls t450.

Flop: (t1800) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets t5070 (All-In)</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero ...? )</font>


I put the BB on AK-A2, KT, QT, JT, 22-TT (though I feel like he would have re-raised with 66+ preflop). The huge overbet screams weakness, as I do not see him wanting to scare anyone away with a set or an overpair. I think a club draw or TPWK is the most likely holding.

The SB's range is huge. He cold-called T525 out-of-position, so I have trouble putting him on AA-JJ, AK, as those hands would have reraised. I think AQ-A7s, AQ-AT, 22-99, KQ, KT, QT, JT is about right. On one hand, I think suited high cards are most likely given his play up to this point. On the other hand, the cold call often indicates a small pair, and I am in trouble against TT, 44, 66.

This is a classic sandwhich scenario and I often feel lost - a fold seems weak since I am fairly certain that I am ahead of BB, yet it is tough to put the SB on a range of hands that I am behind to.

Can I call the BB's donkish overbet without being able to close the action?
