Good morning,

This is a relatively simple situation that I just want to make sure I have a handle on.  I know that often we are supposed to fold low to mid pairs in early position, especially at full tables, if table dynamics make it too awkward – ie. we're too big to shove but too small compared to the players behind to risk facing a raise.

Well, in this hand, I'm not quite sure if this is exactly that type of situation, where folding 66 from early position would be the most prudent.  Also, considering that the villain is tight, playing VPIP 17% after 800 hands, 13% PFR, 1% open limp, 6% 3-bet, was it also a mistake to call his all in?

2 folds, Hero raises to t1200.00, 2 folds, george129 raises to t4880 all in, 3 folds, Hero calls t3680.

I was facing a call of 3,680 into a pot of roughly 7,500.  My plan with the initial raise was to either take the pot down, see a flop, or fold to a large raise over me.   I would have folded if any of the stacks above 10BB had shoved.  I would have called wtchout15 easily as he was loose/aggressive with a small stack.  It was only in response to this small all in from the tight player that I was uncertain.  Since he probably knew he had little fold equity, I would say his range seemed like 44+, A4s+, A7o+, KTs+ KJo+, QJs

Any criticism on my thinking or my actions?

Have an excellent Tuesday morning.
