yeah superstandard ICM fold, i'm not even calling TT/JJ here.
Really depends on the villain too. What makes you say he isn't jamming AA/KK/AQ/QQ there?

If it's a fold but not primarily because of the shorty. You cover MP and the shorty has to go all in next hand anyway before you will, even if you lose this flip.

I would only be tempted to call this if MP is going to run over the table if I fold and let him take the chip lead. If we haven't seen him do that (and they generally don't at 50 cent level) then just fold and go back to pushing people around on the next hand. He is probably playing tight due to ICM (in whatever terms he would use to talk about pay jumps) as he doesn't realise the fold equity it gives him.
