Default Bott Set, Strange Action, Side Pot. Am I Weak Tight for Folding This?

Full Ring 3/6 no reads as am new to table.

Hero in cutoff with 22.

SB has about $350, everyone else has ~$600

2 limpers, Hero limps, SB completes BB checks.

Flop 5 Players $30: T 8 2 rainbow.

SB bets $18, 3 calls, Hero raises to $150, SB calls, BB Pushes!, 2 folds.

There is $870 in the pot. SB has ~ $190 left. It's $485 for Hero to call.

Do I need to go out and buy some Tampax for folding here?

Sorry I usually dont self bump but in this particularly strange hand I can't put BB on anything that doesn't crush me. Is this a bad fold by me?

Against an unknown I can't find a fold here. If I had a read that he was a solid TAG then I probably could. You'd have to think that TT raises preflop a pretty decent % of the time, so the only hand you're really worried about is 88.

You're probably good the 30%ish you'll need to be, I'll call.

The thing that's helped me in going from nittish 15/9/2 to 19/15/3.5 is just to tell myself I'm playing for only 100bb, if it's close in my still borderline nit mind, I call. The exception as someone else mentioned, is if BB is very solid player, or especially a 17/5/1 who can only have a bigger set. But against unknown, call.

Wow, how could you ever consider folding this? This is 10 8, J9, 10 2, 8 2 like always. If he checked in the BB with 10s or 8s after 5 limpers he's simply getting my stack.

Making such a gigantic raise and then folding can't be good. With T8 definitely in BBs range you really have to call.
