Tight Poker

BB is 22.7/13.6/infinite

My image, if anyone cares, is probably very tight. I haven't played a single hand yet. I really hate folding my sb a lot, but is it standard to do that a lot? I guess there's not much I can do with no cards?

Call.

You're entitled to call any 2 cards in an unlimped pot.

I wouldn't push, but I might raise. It probably won't get a lot of respect but you'll get a little bit of information.

I fold my sb only in rare circumstances when I'm heads up with the BB. One of those is against a short stack who might be pushing. But the BB isn't that short stacked, so I call.

Shoving? Much too loose. If he calls you're a huge underdog since he'll only call with the best of it.

Make it 200 more or just call.

I fold. Give him a couple chips now. Shove the shit out of him later.

I am really surprised that so many responses are "just fold".

Does this have to do with building an image for later?

Are you waiting for blinds to increase before you put the pressure on?

This seems like an easy fold for everyone, am I missing a big point?

You are OOP w/ a garbage hand and there is something to say for showing him you are able to fold.
If he only had ~ 8BB I might push.

I folded of course, but I was just checking to see if I was missing an opportunity.
