Live 1/2 Low SPR vs Tells

What is the lowest SPR I can fold given I have a tell on villain indicating he's strong? A tell i've found over the last 90 hours is the hyperventilation tell( when villain is hyperventillating at worst they have an overpair to the board and are usually stronger). I had the tell on an unknown villain (played maybe 15 hands) but the SPR was only 2.65 and I had jacks on a board of 277(2 clubs). I know I could of gotten away had the SPR been higher. According to Pio folding is an enormous mistake as I make 136 bucks by calling the allin.

If your read is 100% certain, then SPR is irrelevant.
One time I played against a man and we both had hit a full house. I had 10-8 and he had pocket tens. I reraised him on the river and he just called. I asked him why he just called and he said I could have had quad 8s. After that, I knew this man would never reraise unless he had the absolute nuts. So, against his reraise, SPR would not matter even if it was my last dollar.

Thanks for the response. The problem is he may be giving off the tell with hands I beat such as 88, 99, and tt. In the same situation, because of the tell, I would fold 88, call 50% 99( call with a club) and still call off tt.
