and he likely to call you without a pair, which all the dead chips in the middle make it well worth the race.

ewww.... i don't like that logic. assume for starters that he's folding A5s - i think that's pretty reasonable to assume. now you say that b/c he's a big stack he's likely to call with more KQ/AT type hands, but that's very bad, not good. we'd much rather just pick up the blinds and antes than have him call and play a flip. the fact that there's a lot of money out there makes picking up dead money more appealing compared to flipping, not less.

unless he's quite loose, he's also folding 44. and the fact that he's a big stack will make him more willing to call 66 or 77, which is obviously a disaster for hero.

i'd fold this.
