Re: avoid the big stack at all cost, or decided based on EV?
what position at the table is villain? you're not getting great odds here - unless you've seen villain show a lot of late aggression (i.e., 3-betting and 4-betting and not just opening a lot of pots) i think you've got to fold.
if you call and villain has two overcards, you've made a great play in terms of chipEV, but i'd guess you've made a ~neutral play in terms of $EV. and i think you're going to get shown a big pair more often than a hand like A8 or 66.
i hate the small reraise on your part though. pushing is my first choice, and calling would also be ok. the problem with the min raise is that you're not going to win the pot - you're going to leave yourself in a tough spot against someone you don't want to play a big pot with and you won't know where you stand. pushing let's you increase your stack by about 20% and doesn't leave you in this spot where you are likely to make a mistake.
