Id say ultra standard fold mate, yes hes a shortstack (relative to you) donk who you might have out kicked, but you dont need to take risks, youve already got a big stack and if he has anything (i.e a 3, or any PP) your not getting near to the right odds to draw at your overs.

Oooh, only constructive thing id add is that you could raise less preflop, just to minimize your losses when you dont connect post flop, and to encourage worse aces to stick around preflop, to say t150. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
