Dude, I don't get it.

You are up against a player where your read is super-tight, as far as you know, who raised from around front. You have a hand that's either slightly ahead or way behind. Your pot odds are OK but not great. You are far from desperate yet. You have extremely limited FE. You are presumably better than your opponents so you want an edge.

Why wouldn't you just insta-muck this and find a better spot?

We haven't seen him play a hand in 2 orbits, but I'm not willing to give him credit for being a complete nit. He's a huge stack relatively early in a 20/180. That usually is not an indicator that someone is super tight. I think you're putting way too much stress on the read.

It's an easy push because we have 10xBB, we have a very slight amount of FE probably, and we don't mind it if Villain flips 2 overs here since we're short and this looks like a decent chance to double up. Villain might even call our push with a few hands we're killing like 55-88 too.
