Folding is probably fine. If you were much deeper you could call with something like KQs since you know in those spots you flop hard he's stacking off.

With your stack size, I fold pf. After the blinds, you will have a good-size resteal stack and the button will pass you soon.

First of all - I probably fold this OOP here PF.....but now that you stabbed -

There is $1,140 in the pot and it costs you $240 to call. I think you float here and see what the flop brings.

Dangerous to be sure if you are up against AA or KK but I think his range is much broader considering stack size here.

Call here and look to take it or dump after the flop depending on texture.

Agree fold initially, agree fold now. The main argument for folding initially is your stack size, if you were 80 BBs deep folding or raising PF would be ok.
