a-5 in bb against a raise

extreamly tight 6-12 game where almost every hand was a raise and both blinds fold. semi decent prop raises mid position, folded to me in bb. I have a-5 call or fold in this situation?
Results: I call and lose a lot of money

Hi ineedmoneybad,

Fold. A raise from middle position generally indicates a hand that is much stronger than A5o. Even if you aren't dominated, you will be out of position and more than likely the prop will know how to abuse this.

Fold, it's not even close.

I am only playing if I believe I am ahead pre flop and then I am raising. So, unless you think it's a steal or the prop has very loose raising standards, which is not likley from MP, I fold.

Fold it.

That's a tight 6/12.

Aside from the question of what to do with A5 here, the bigger question may be "do you want to play at a table full of tight, aggressive players?"
