What hands make you "way behind"? AA, KK, AK, QQ...that's it.

And what range would you put a tight $55er on? These hands make up a large portion of such a range.

Nobody every said UTG+1 was tight. In fact he's already won a 400 chip pot, do we know what he did it with?

No, sorry. Starting to 8-table, still working on picking up reads.
Obviously AQ is a good hand and there are obvious arguments for calling (i.e. it's good to play good hands), but here is what I don't like:
- it's offsuit
- I'm not guaranteed to see a flop if it's raised behind me
- while I have position on him, I won't on anyone else that comes in
- it's going to be expensive to decipher c-bets from value bets from dominating hands (e.g. if he leads out an A or Q high flop, it's going to get expensive to define his hand)
- he's utg+1 and his range is tight
- if we both miss, he takes it down more often than I do because of betting inertia
To me it's looking like, if I hit I don't know where I am and it's expensive to find out, and if I don't I often lose the pot. But hey, obviously I'm not totally sure of what to do or else I wouldn't have posted this.
