8-8 facing early position raise from pot-committed opponent

[dsaxton]

This was my second hand after being moved to this table.

I figured that I was getting called 100% of the time that I move in, and that his play suggests I'm dominated a significant percentage of the time (he raises half his stack into the pot from early position). Good fold?

Good fold, you are either behind or a coinflip and it is a sizable part of your stack
