Villain is a competent but not great satellite reg who we have 2k hands on, not that it's that relevant but he's 19/12 with a steal of 36%, I've got one note on him that pertains to this hand that reads - capable of shoving 10bbs e.g avg stack nr end of sats from EP with as weak as k8dd. Villain is the cut-off in this hand.
As this hand is dealt avg stack is 17k (EDIT: OOPS OUR STACK IS 20275 BEFORE POSTING) we're 11/59 with 32 seats, so not in fold to seat mode by any stretch but we can basically maintain our stack, steal a pot or so a round and wait for comfortable chipping up spots.
1k/2k/200 ante (not sure when it goes to 1.5/3k)

In the past this was a spot where I rarely thought before hitting the call button, but lately I’ve been trying to avoid spots like this where although it’s pretty clear I’m ahead of the villain’s range (which I’d estimate to be close to 22+,A8s+,K8s+,QJs,JTs,ATo+,KTo+,QTo+, I have 60% equity against this) it’s a spot where I think folding has some merit. Am I a massive nit for folding or even giving it strong consideration here? FWIW I think i ditch pocket eights and nines here due to the extra number of broadway combos that I flip against and I’m fairly certain away from the table i might consider folding jacks, but in reality I never fold jacks (which has 64% against the same range)
