50$R+A - TT hard decision lategame

30 players remaining, we are in the money. I called his bet only, maybe this was a mistake? As played, I could not call the bet of the villain sitting left to me, I could push or fold and because of his strengh (betting behind a raise and a caller) I folded it...

I arrived at this table 2 or 3 hands ago, so I dont know anything about villain (and I have not generated any image)

Nasty. People squeeze light much less frequently than they should but as express odds are compelling, and as this is such a great spot (because of stack sizes) for him to pull a squeeze, I'm sucking it in and calling. I'm then generally check-folding and cursing but obviously this will depend on the texture of the flop and how fast and how much he bets.

If his range is 80% QQ+, AK and 20% nonsense/bluff, I think we'd be wrong to fold, readless. I would, however, fold quite happily with a specific dynamic (everyone's tight and we've not flatcalled once)

Your initial call is fine IMO.
