Is it ok to fold here?

[Rage2100]

I'm still getting to grips with cash games but is this ok? CO had been tight, I don't think he'd bet or raised for about 4 orbits. I didn't have his stats at this point, which was after about 100 hands, but I checked afterwards and over 206 hands he was 16.5/3.4/0.57
I hadn't seen him raise with a draw previously and I just felt there were much worse players at the table to take money from.

Hold'em No Limit ($0.05/$0.10)

UTG: ($6.15)
UTG+1: ($5.49)
CO: ($19.99)
Button: ($11.69)
SB: ($9.33)
Hero: ($22.57)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K , 5 .
1 fold, UTG+1 calls $0.10, CO calls $0.10, 1 fold, SB calls $0.05, Hero checks

Flop: ($0.40) K , J , 5 (4 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.30, 1 fold, CO raises to $1, 1 fold, Hero folds

Too tight in my book, I would only make that fold to a known nit (and there aren't many of those playing .05/.10). I think a reasonable approach here is call and play for a cheap showdown, unless you score another 5 or a runner-runner flush.

Meah, weak but not horrible. I repop to $3 and see what he does. If he goes apeshit then I might think about folding. We need to put him squarely on a set, KJ to fold here.

On the other hand, small pot, not much invested and your bottom 2nd pair is easily counterfeited so letting the wookie win isn't totally bad either.

either calling or raising is fine. Folding is the worst option. This can just be j5 or a naked k. You are 200bb deep so we don't want to stack off here. I think we get the most value by just calling and getting to a cheap showdown. If he checks turn bet it, and you know to call any river or fire for value.

Yeah, I think I've been playing SnGs for too long. Have to keep reminding myself that cash is different.

Also, I think I give the tighter players at the table too much credit for big hands when they raise.

Warpe, can you explain your thoughts on a raise here? It seems like the quintessential "see where I am" raise in a situation where it's almost certain we're way ahead or way behind.

Call, too much money behind and our opponent is too nitty to want to build a big pot.
