I let this one go. As far as you know Villian is a solid player and your hand is all ready chasing with a weak kicker. It is quite possible Villian wants to make blind money, I do this when cards are crappy, but again you don't know yet if this is a tool of Villian's or not.

The fact you are in a spread limit game makes it a little easier. Spread limit is very good for better players to suck that last chip off of weaker players. That doesn't make folding here correct of course, just cheaper if you allow others to play table police on their dime and you reap the benefits for free.
