Playing a local small stake (20$)MTT with mostly bad players
Blinds 5/10k -1k ante (pretty deep like 20/110 left)
Stack ~85k
Active player opens UTG to 22k (200k stack) (he has been opening a lot and have seem him fold to small reshoves for around 80-100k)
I look down at AdAc from MP I call (original raiser seems quite clueless I dont think he knows that my flat is strong)
SB calls (100k stack) BB folds

[82k pot]
Flop 8910 all spades
Sb check, utg all-in
Me....

Can I just fold here and leave myself with 6BB?

I think the plan has to be to get it in on any flop

With 8 blinds, there's exactly a 0% chance I'm folding. And he's doing this generally with a lot of flush draws and some players even show up with something like a pair and no spade.

Shove preflop. Calling with your monsters unbalances and weakens your shove range. Any hand with an M of 3 is all in if you plan on playing. No exceptions. No fancy plays. Just play your stack.

I know you are thinking "greedy" in that you want a full double up here. But there is already about 50% (47k in his raise + blinds and antes) of your stack in the middle. And if the UTG mistakenly folds surrendering his equity in the 47k already in the middle, that is a win for you. He is surrendering at least 10k in equity if he folds.

We arent worried about balancing in a live homegame
Flatting a % of the time with the AA would not be unbalanced here either.

Thanks for the replies and insights I did end up calling sb snap folds, and the player shows JsQx for a flopped straight
