Villian's play has been pretty unremarkable. A re-raise pot commits me, calling out of position with a mid pair is also not the best idea.... what should I do here?

You don't want to be putting in $700 here and seeing a flop. Unless you hit a set, it's gonna be tough to win it being out of position. You can't handle any heat at all.

In this spot, I would fold it. I think some aggressive players would reraise all in here, but I think it would depend on the read you have on him. You are at best a slight favorite here if he calls your push in or you could be in serious trouble. If I were way short stacked, I would push, but you've got plenty of chips to fight another day.

Was that me?

Stop &amp; Go? Call and fire t1000 at any flop.

Folding is okay too.

My two cents,

I fold, too big a % of your stack, out of position, he's got you covered. If you have alot less or alot more chips, I could justify playing to try and bust the guy or double up, but you're in that middle stack range where the decisions become a little tougher.

No /images/graemlins/smile.gif. And I folded.

I would either fold or stop n go here depending on my read of how active the villain has been with his preflop raises. Against someone doing a lot of raising preflop, I like the stop n go because of his wider range of hands he could have and he's a dog to hit the flop. Against a tighter player, a fold is just fine and probably the best play.
