A couple of hands from $4/180

[Local_Echo]

This hand seems like a fairly standard fold, but the villain called time and went into the tank for quite awhile. He had been playing fairly tight throughout the tourney.

Same villain for this one and I think I played this terribly. With his fairly tight range, I don't think I should have shoved here even as short as I was getting. Thoughts?

1) put him on a range and run it. If you don't want to call here, either push or fold, this turns 22 to 42. Plus it's ALSO a disaster ~ 7/8 times if you get smooth called.

2) yeah, no FE, just fold.

I'd just fold both preflop and not have to get involved. You aren't deep enough to be raising 22 UTG profitably.

Jeff he's CO and I think open folding 22 is terrible considering that open shoving is profitable.
