Default small debate with friend

$215 sit and go and you have 97o in the SB. The blinds are 25-50 and you and the BB both have 800 in chips. You don't really know anything about the BB. What is your general play here?

Well, since I've played 0 $215 SNGs I'll give this a shot. I also assume that it has been folded up to your SB (although this won't impact my answer anyway).

I fold.

I have 1000 times as much experience at the $215s as Yugo, and I would fold. Therefore folding is correct, because 1000 times is a lot.

I'll show you 1000 times better the next time you jump on one of my tables! Biatch!

Seriously. If Ilya says it's a fold, then it must be a fold.

calling is by far worse than anything else you can do. a much better argument can be made for raising than calling. I still vote fold, but I suppose if you had a tight enough BB a raise wit any 2 in this spot could be profitable.

I'm with strassa here.

And my vote is about 80/20 fold/raise.

I don't think that's true at all. I'll go all-in the majority of the time here (depending on the player in the BB) if the stacks are still 800-800 and the blinds are 75-150 or so.
