The huge bet from a nit usually reps the nuts at these stakes I feel. is this just a fold?

Check turn, swallow pride and fold. Also hand sample of 35 isn't enough to say he's a nit, if he has been getting junk cards all the time then that could be why.

Ye check fold turn your not getting value here.
