I fold here, 10% of your stack too much to play for set value.

standard, i dont call with many hands here.

[PTB]

looks good. Ive got a pretty tight range for calling this here

Probably. But not in this hand. I wouldn't be tearing you up for calling, but I like the fold more.

Not a nit at all. While a call isn't going to cripple you - folding is the preferred play. I'm looking for something stronger than eights here.

He's in the BB. A call doesn't cost 10% of his stack.

A fold here is fine. I wouldn't hate a call, though.
