Default 25/50 tough spot with TPTK : felt it or fold it?

Hero is UTG with A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Stack sizes:
Hero: 5K
Villain: 11K
SB: 2.8K

Hero raises to 175 from UTG, Villain calls from UTG+1, SB calls, rest fold.

Flop (pot: $575) : A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

SB leads out for $450, hero raises to $1,400 (planning to get it all in vs. SB), but Villain behind shoves for 11K.
SB Folds.

Hero? (has $3,425 behind, pot is $7,250)

**READ: important >> Villain is quite nitty, but otherwise a pretty solid winner who has been running well vs. hero past few days. I don't see him doing this with AQ or worse...then again, I'm getting better than 2:1...

This is tough when you put in $1600 and only have $3400 behind, but based on your description of the villian, this is a fold. I suppose AQ is possible, but this is a set most of the time.

How many players are in this game? I think its a call if the game was 8 or 9 handed, marginal 7 handed, and a fold with 6 or fewer players. With greater than 7 players at the table I think its extremely unlikely that a nitty UTG+1 has a set of 2's or 6's or a flush draw that doesn't contain the Ah, and thus you're against a range of [AA, AK] with AK making up 6/7ths of his range. In this case you have equity = ~3/7 which is easily sufficient to call. With exactly 7 players at the table I could go either way on including the smaller sets in his range, and with 6 or fewer I think its very likely he does call with 66 and 22 preflop. I would not expect a villain described as nitty to shove naked flush draws in any of these cases, so when you believe he can have the smaller sets its a clear fold. Under no circumstances am I concerned that villain might have 2 pair.

It was full 10-person table.

Is 2 pr really impossible? Even nitty players (i think this guy was 17/11 preflop) can occasionally call with A6s or A2s. And clearly villain's push would be the correct way to play 2pr in that situation...

wha? Why would any decent player fold 66 or 22 preflop, even if he is nitty?

ike's post is confusing me. is he saying that villian is more likely to set mine in a 6max game than full ring? I thought full ring was where set mining takes place.
