This might be boring. Is calling okay preflop since I have a decent stack? Villain seems fairly normal, pretty tight early.

250 in the pot. You've got 1400 behind... A bit too much to shove? I don't know, I have this spot come up, and I don't like it at all.

In a previous post you said you were not confident in your postflop play, and in that case a push is not bad here, IMO.

Read dependent IMO. If villain is a tight wad I would smooth call, probably.

If he is your typical 22 donk, shove it!

If you were replying to me, I push in spots like these quite frequently, but I really want more chips in the pot and less in my stack.

I'm not sure about this play. At first I didn't like it, but the more I think about it I think it is the right move. You need to raise in this situation and a raise to 400 would just not cut it. The all in puts the raiser to a decision for most of his chips, which is a very good place to put him.

Ah... Well, I have pretty much the same issue. (Can't play poker).
