    Default More +EV through folding here?

    I'm starting to think that perhaps these calls are not the most +EV move. My line of thinking is I'm calling to be most likely a 60/40 favorite and occasionally worse when villian has a better A, when I could instead fold it and push/steal the blinds; I will gain a fair amount through simply folding + when I do get called I'm never that fair behind. Opinions?

    Pre Flop: (t3600) Hero is BB with A T
    1 fold, UTG+1 raises to t3200, 5 folds, Hero raises to t11855 all in, UTG+1 calls t5990 all in

    Flop: (t20380) 8 5 9 (2 players - 2 are all in)

    Turn: (t20380) 8 (2 players - 2 are all in)

    River: (t20380) 5 (2 players - 2 are all in)

    reads help, but in a vacuum this is just a fold pre. You are not 60/40 against any logical opening range, I am not sure where that number comes from. You are a 40/60 dog to the top 10%.

    If for some reason you decide to play, calling then shoving the flop is better, you'll get some folds from hands that would have called pre.
