No. No need to at these stakes.

I'm about as tight as they come if he's paying any attention at all. My raises and re-raises especially from blinds often command respect.
This is fairly small stakes, and I think we play fairly straightforward, but it's an awfully big call and an awfully big gamble by him if he's calling with the extremely marginal hands I've listed before.
There is a saying: "Sometimes you have to fold the winning hand to be a winning player." Obviously, I'm not sure if this is one of the cases as I wouldn't post it otherwise; it's the first time I've ever folded AA so easily post-flop. I'm eliciting opinions from other players and so far it seems that in general, the tighter players agree with check-folding, while the looser players think leading the flop and shutting down is proper. Opinions are still about half and half. At least no one thought check-calling or check-raising is correct [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].
