Some thoughts on this one please. Btn had been multi-tabling, he'd barely played a hand through twenty, then either appeared to catch some cards or find the raise button (over the last ten hands).
BB had sat down a few hands earlier. He'd been involved in two hands. Raising from the Btn and taking the blinds, then checking his BB and folding to a bet on the flop. With no information on his play, I try to assign a tighter range of hands to an opp. than generally seen at this level.

saw flop
MP ($5.71)
Button ($7.85)
Hero (SB) ($5.04)
BB ($1.57)
UTG ($0.81)
Preflop: Hero is SB with http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/.../smiles/qc.gif, http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/.../smiles/qh.gif
2 folds, Button raises to $0.06, Hero calls $0.05, BB calls $0.04
Folded around to button, who raises. My range for the button is still wide, Axs+, KJ+, all PPs. But I'm OOP. With KK+ I'd re-raise, but I just call with one player left to act. BB calls also. His range is wider. With no info., he'll be calling anything from suited gaps, Qxo upwards. I'm confident I'm good when he calls.

Hero bets $0.14, BB calls $0.14, 1 fold
When the Button checks the flop, I think I'm good so bet about 3/4 pot, expecting both to fold. BB calls. Button folds. BB's call tightens his range some, but not a lot. I can rule out the lower PPs (other than 22 obv.), but he's sticking around with any 8,T with a A-J kicker, also w/any two hearts. T8 is possible, but I'd expect a raise here.
Turn: ($0.46) http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/.../smiles/3s.gif (2 players)
Hero bets $0.40, BB raises to $1.37 (All-In), Hero calls $0.97
Turn is an offsuit 3. This doesn't change anything board wise. I again bet out, this time slightly over 3/4 pot. If he's after the heart, he's paying for it. I don't think anything between 3/4 pot to full pot affects his calling frequency.
Looking back at the bet now, it was a quite a sizable chunk of his stack, so the push over isn't all that surprising. I'm behind to sets, T8 and slowed played AA, KK (which I'd ruled out, but I suppose account for 0.1% of his possible hands here). I don't know how to work out the exact maths behind this call so if anyone could give me some advice, please do. I've run this through pokerstove since vs. his possible range and I'm a big favourite, approx 67%. I called.

Some thoughts on this would be good, especially as to how I've gone through the hand. Also, any pointers to good posts on calculating decisions like the one above. Thanks.
