Default Simple Call Or Fold From BB w/ 88

Mansion 150k ($108 buyin). Blinds are <font color="red">100/200</font> and I only moved to the table a few hands ago so no reads. Average stack is around 4000, I have <font color="red">2800</font>, villain has <font color="red">2100</font>.

Supersonic is dealt <font color="red">8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]</font> in the <font color="red">Big Blind</font>.

5 folds. <font color="red">Villain bets 2100 and is all in.</font> 3 folds. <font color="red">Hero?</font>

The answer here seems very clear to me but I'll keep my opinion to myself for now.

Average villain will open-shove with something like A7+,KQ,22+ i think - maybe too tight?

You are a 55% favorite against this range so call.

I would fold. You could be way behind, but you are probably flipping and you aren't so desperate yet.

fold imo, your either way behind or tossing at best and its too early to take that big a chance.

I'd tell myself I should call..but since I find occasion to be a scared nit, I'd fold. I think it's a call though.

Villain can't have 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77???

Anyway, the answer is: Fold if it's FT's good structure (with the small blind increases and 10mins per level), and call if it's PS's crap. The first replier said you're around 55% here in average circumstances and I agree. But I don't agree to gamble with those odds if you're a skilled player and the blind levels are lenient like at FT.
