Good fold?

I'm not sure you can fold here, tight player or not. You've got the 4th best starting hand out of who knows how many. He might have AA, KK, or QQ, but he also might have AK, AQ, or a middle pair. Can't you afford to see a flop here? I'd be interested in knowing what the buy-in is.

Yeah, I thought about just calling. This was a 22 on Party. I think that's what made it stand out. There are so few people that can make it that far into a 22 SNG and not have played a single hand. Then to raise UTG, it just smelled like a big hand.

I think you have to go with it. He could just be card-dead, and while he may be tight, I just don't think you can put him on a range as weak as AA-TT, AQ-AK. Meh, just me.

Wow, no one agrees with my play I guess. Even though it's over 1/6 of my stack and there's still two more people behind me? I'm really not big on calling raises in general.

Nah, I'm not real big on it either. I think it's a push/fold situation, though calling isn't totally horrible, though I wouldn't like it much. BTW, at my levels, I push this 100% of the time.
