I would have called. Your odds are 2:1, and as he might feel he is on a rush, he could have raised with A-X, K-Q, K-Js, etc. Moreover, despite his previous win, he’s still short stack and he has to take risks. And even if he is on a stronger pair, you have him covered and you would have 3M left, which is enough fold equity when you push.

I’m folding, here. I would have bet more initially, maybe 25-35% of my stack with the little pair. I can easily let this go here and look for better position.

Yeah, I agree with Mary.
I don’t think it has so much to do with fear as it does chip stack. If you fold, you still have enough chips to compete. If you call and lose, you’re pretty much forced to go all-in just to survive. IMHO.

Anyone that thinks you should call here, I’m sorry to say, is a complete donk… WHY on earth would u stick in your money with zero fold equity with 66 and risk over 60 percent of your stack at BEST being an even money shot??!??! Are you kidding me? FOLD FOLD FOLD
