We are in a stupid benefit tourney with mostly bad players. My table ends up with 3 of us who play together a couple of times a month and we are busting peeps left and right. In this hand UTG is one who plays all the time and button, his brother, doesn't play with us much but is decent, just not experienced.
Blinds: 500/1000
SB 10000
BB 15000
UTG 30000
+1 20000
Me 40000
Button 15000 Kh Qs
UTG Raise to 2500
fold, fold
Button Calls to 2500
fold, fold
Flop: Qh Ks 10d
UTG bet 4000
Button: All in for 12500

The question I have concerns stack sizes. I think the shove is the only thing the button can do here, but what if his stack is 15 to 20 bigs on the flop? Is there ever a time where you can let 2 pair go for a better spot? I knew what UTG had as soon as he bet on the flop and, right or wrong, I would have let it go if I had more than 16 bigs left. In this exact situation I would have shoved just in case I was wrong about his holdings. UTG and I were talking about the hand later and he says button can never fold there. I think there is a stack size that could make it the best play to fold if you are sure you are beat.
