Default safe fold here?

I wasn't sure on a fold here. The SB is about a .86 Aggro, with a 55 VPIP. The thing that really kicked me was the cold call of two on the flop. I felt that I was drawing dead, at best three outs. Given the situation, I felt that he flopped a monster, and although the pot was huge, I still couldn't call. Although I havent seen the player play much, his aggro stats and VPIP stats just told me that I was probably drawing dead.

After folding, I thought that something like JX[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] might have made sense, but I am still unsure. Any takes?

No read is that good. This fold is awful. Call it down at the very least.

I don't think I could fold that one, but it does look like a set. It could be other things that you are ahead of like T9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] or somesuch hand. With all that money in the pot I couldn't fold this here.

That's what I meant. Regardless of reads, there is too much money in the pot to fold here. Certainly we're beat a good portion of the time, but not enough to overlook the pot odds.

I am not folding here. You have tpgk and there is no flush or straight. You might be losing but a lot of people would do make this play with a pair and a draw so i am calling.
