We have reads from one hand - ok it's some solid info but nothing that gives us something definite to work on eg we have no Vpip/pfr to work on

The decision to fold pre is based upon what the likely scenarios are post flop let's look at some

Suppose we flop top pair and villain fires two barrels - do we really like our hand?

If the hand is sooted then at least when it flops equity we can have an overcard too so calling pre then is debatable but ok vs the right villains - probably here

If we flop j high and again face two barrels again do we like our hand?

If you look at the scenarios we like they are fewer than those we don't like hence fold pre - we also loose a lot more big pots and win smaller ones. I'd be much happier with 65s here
