Let's play the folding war game.

After this hand:

Opponent 1 - 3800
Opponent 2 - 5800
Hero ------- 2000
Next guy --- 1900

After Next hand :

Opponent 1 - 4100
Opponent 2 - 5800
Hero ------- 2000
Next guy --- 1600

After Your BB

Opponent 1 - 4100
Opponent 2 - 6400
Hero ------- 1400
Next guy --- 1600

(Stop me any time you think this is good value)

After your next SB:

Opponent 1 - 4100
Opponent 2 - 6400
Hero ------- 1100
Next guy --- 1900


Okay, I'm not going to insult your intelligence by continuing.
Basically, he has all the factors in his favour here if you start folding.
His chips are worth more to you than anyone else at the table (because if you get them, you get in the money) so you have to try to take them. If he calls, then so be it, your hand doesn't have to lose if it's behind, in fact it doesn't have to be behind.

All that happens if you start folding here is that you end up clashing when you both have lower equity later on. If he folds, you're in a great position.
