1/2 Casino

UTG opens to $6 (small raise in this game)
UTG-2 calls $6
MP calls 6
SB (older, drunk guy) raises to $21
Hero in BB calls with JsJc

UTG calls

and then UTG jams AI for about $120 more.
SB folds...

Do we call or fold?

Was is the standard range when we are faced with a backraise like this?

If SB calls, I am obv folding, but now this is a tough spot.

Either is a spaz with AK or AQ, or I am crushed by QQ+.

I had no evidence he was tilting, so I guess I should have folded, but its still hard to fold my hand.

Just want to confirm the HH, UTG+2 is the one who shoved correct...what are your reads on that particular villain? Against most straightforward opponents at $1/2 this is usually heavily toward QQ+ and a few sporadic combos of AK but definitely more toward big PP's. Unless V has been fairly aggressive I think I can lay this down; basically a $6 raise in this spot is like a limp; and most V's l/rr range is super narrow.

What was SB's stack? Also, if he's an "older drunk guy", you could consider 4b/GII. But first, let's get more reads. Also, UTG could easily be doing this with AK given his shallow stack and all the money already in the pot. Really difficult to answer without reads on them.

Also, why do you think it is a "spaz" if he's l/rr 60 BBs with AK? That's a perfectly reasonable hand to do it with because he should only be bothered about SB, because your hand is very face up as QQ-TT after you just call.
