Villain new to table so no reads. For those of you who have read PNL, this is pretty much the perfect SPR for TPTK. Am I sucking it up and considering myself "reluctantly committed" or is this a fold?

actually, i think its a pretty easy fold. whatever spr formula you're using would have to be adjusted to account for the asston of hands that beat you here. there's a lot more that's ahead of you here than a straight.

you've committed 24 BB to the hand. Two pair/j9/aj are all likely here, especially two pair like kq. There's absolutely no reason to stack off on this board for 85BB.

Your SPR may be favorable, but that's a really horrible way to flop TPTK.

I don't think the decision is super-easy, though, since there is some chance Villain has a hand like KJ for top pair and an OESD, and then against some of his better hands (like QT), you do still have reasonable outs, getting 2:1. But I would fold.
