with only about 12 BB's left i call hoping to race against overs. his range here is huge!

easy fold given position, its alot closer if you close the action

You may only have 12BBs but you are 3rd in chips and are not under that much pressure. I would fold this, the BEST you can hope for is a race (unless he types I have 55 in the chat box and you believe him:D )

Yup, fold.

For once i done something right, i folded reluctantly but just wondered after if it was a good decision or not.

In this scenario there was still 5 players to act. If he was 1 off the button and im on the button would this still be a fold and whatabout if im on the BB and he pushes from the button??

The problem with small pairs like this is that if you call an All-In the best case scanario really is that you get a 50:50, worst case scenario is you're a 4:1 dog. He could have 55- but not enough to make it profitable to be calling All-In's there, unless you feel like gambling it up.

What makes these hands better is if you are the one pushing All-In and it's the fold equity that your push has that makes the play profitable,

Ye, it would be OK depending on stack sizes, his Button range obviously includes unpaired hands where one card is -6
