Default Was I right, or my friend?

Summary: I’m looking over my friends shoulder and scream at him to ?, Not wanting to give too much away, if you were the one looking over his shoulder what would you tell him to do?

Edited, taken out the flop details and put in the buy in.

Reads:
UTG: 36 hands, VPIP=14.00 tight player. 2 previous raises AKo, AQo.
Button: 36 hands, VPIP=16.67 tight player. This was his only raise.

I'd tell him to put the buyin in the subject line.

If blinds were 50/100 I would prly reraise to try and isolate him, because at this level even tight players start stealing. But with these blinds I fold to initial UTG raise. He's not stealing, or there is nothing to steal yet with 4BB raise at 25/50 level

Fold the first time, definitely fold the second time.

I just muck it to the initial raise. Think about a tight player's UTG raising range. It's probably something like {99+,AK} or maybe as wide as {55+,AJs+,AQo+}. If you hit the flop and are ahead, you probably don't get paid off unless he has 99 on a Q62 rainbow board, and then only maybe. You can hit the flop and get stacked versus AK.

Overcalling the all-in is clinically retarded. Two tight players are all-in preflop for 25 BB. Which one of your two cards are you thinking is going to be live here? My guess is neither one is. UTG is calling that push with no less than {JJ+,AK} at the widest. If you're lucky, they have JJ and KK, so your ace is live. More likely, one of them has AK and the other TT+, so your Q may or may not be live.
