Cleaning off the rust

I took a couple months off from SNG's. I'm starting to play again but my game could use some work. Is this hand OK? Thanks.

I think it's ok. But I seem to be spewing a lot of chips like this lately. Seems silly to fold 600 chips to the BB though.

Actually this is a fold unless you are sure he folds some really crap hands. He should be calling any two, which is actually slightly -$EV for you.

yea, although the good news is that they usually don't call with any 2. If you think they are bad enough to fold some hands, then pushing (or stop+going) is good. If you don't think so, then you should probably just fold.
