Spewing chips I think. I'd fold preflop against a typical tight player here. Out of position, and a MP1 3x open raise is not a steal typically. And, the blinds aren't big enough compared to your stack to try resteal hear, especially without a solid read. Since you called, I think you should lead the flop for about 1300. It's going to be tough for an underpair to call this kind of bet, and it's your only shot of winning the pot.

I was getting better than 2-1 pot odds so i figured i had the odds to call. Am i wrong to call most raises pre flop with marginal hands in the big blind?
