Default Folding the nuts?

I had a discussion with some friends about this situation:

The board is AKQJT with no flush possible.

The pot is heads-up and the first player pushes.
If you call you will get half the pot but the rake will eat up all your profit and you will actually make a loss. So what would you do?

Pot size? Stack sizes? Rake structure?

OP's post sucks but he makes it up with having A+++ avatar.

Well, we are talking about a loss of 50 cents here.
I was just interested to see how many here actually make a -EV money decision for yourself and the opponent. Calling may well be +EV for the ego though.
