Played this horribly I suspect. Villain is essentially tight, solid, but this is a good stealing spot. My image is also tight, solid. How do I play this correctly?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t50 (6 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t2680)
UTG+1 (t3760)
CO (t1860)
Button (t1545)
Hero (t2090)
BB (t1565)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, CO folds, Button raises to t150, Hero raises to t400, BB folds, Button calls t250

Flop: (t875) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets t450, Button raises to t900, Hero folds

probably just call PF, the raise to 400 is too small if you are going to raise, 475 would be better

If you think villian is tight&solid, he won't be "stealing" with anything worse than ATs...

If hes tight I fold preflop. If you think restealing is best here you might as well shove.

such an easy fold preflop my guess is you aren't playing enough tables. amirite?

You are right I only play two max at the moment [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] So most ppl would fold this? I'm thinking most players at 22, even if they've been playing solid, are capable of making a move here, particularly if they've observed me to be tight. So I think his range is a lot bigger than AT+... but on the other hand if he hasn't done these types of moves yet, I guess a fold is best; and I just watch him closely for further moves. Thanks!

I fold..not enough in the pot to make this a profitable push

holy, a tight-solid player knows how to steal in position, so his opening-range should be wider than ATs..

I think most tight-solid players don't steal blinds that often @ 25/50. I'd fold ATs here even if I knew he was raising pretty wide but I'm weak.
