Defending my BB - is this overly reckless?

[Blinky]

Opp had minraised utg an orbit or two before (which I called) and put in a weak cbet which I folded to. Table was quite tight and my table image was tight.

Is this play unwise? I lead out fairly weakly on the flop looking to take it down, but then his flop raise just seemed so weak.....

I'd let it go...

1) rarely is UTG raising with rags to steal the blinds.
2) Min raise UTG... AA and KK are real possibilities...
3) Your chip stack is to small to play arround much.
4) He already has so many chips in the pot, that he might feel forced to call.

Thanks for the response.

Fair 'nuff Lae. However, do you try to defend your blind in this situation, and if so how do you do so? My stack is only 16BB.

I don't hate the PF call or lead on flop. although I would rather have 56s. That's a really good flop for you unless he has an overpair. He says he does. At this point I am inclined to believe him.

If villians stack is much bigger or smaller you have to push PF or SNG to defend your blind. As is, I think you played it OK. Folding 56o is fine too.
