Why would you fold, to pick up a point by outlasting someone else?

OK, nobody else is really shortstacked. You might pick up a couple points by blinding out I guess, but I think you have to go with Jacks here for a shot at more points. Everyone else has acted, you are likely to be 70%+ as you were. I might just raise, let villain have a chance to catch a low pair and push the flop. I want to double up for some breathing room (or atleast add to the pot) and I think its a limp/fold most of the time if you push.

This type of decision is very hard to take in matrix i guess.
cause we never know what is the most valuable...
try to risk to get 2 points or try to get points just waiting

...oh I was forgetting KO points, so the stack is likely to limp/call a push with ATC. btw, I don't usually consider folding my option on the bb :D
