Whats good poker peoples?
I am newly back to grinding after 3 years off. I play only at Seven Mile Casino in San Diego while in town. The $2/3 game for the most part is very slow and not much action preflop in the sense of 3b or 4b unless they have the goods. Just boring limpers who call raises so ranges are very hard to narrow down sometimes. They limp with TT and just call raises etc.
Question for when you first get into the orbit. How right or wrong is this of me to fold preflop. I am sure what I did is wrong.
First orbit, 4th hand. Still have about $300 which is max buy-in for this game. I bring $700 when I play in total. 9 handed game.

in the sb, no straddle. UTG limps, MP1 raises to $15, MP2 calls, LJ calls, and CO raises to $75. CO started with $350, MP about $200. How often would you ever fold this right here? 0%? I just sat down and only been playing again for a month. All players at the table are new to me.
I know I was wrong in folding but I had no feel for the game. By this casino's standards of NITS the hand just felt wrong. The $75 bet was then raised by the MP1 $215 total and played versus the CO. The result of the hand isn't what I am concerned about. How often when you have no feel for a game will you make an extremely tight fold so you can get a grasp on things?
I ended up getting a good handle on everyone at the table and having a very solid +$440 session but am trying to get back into studying and talking with other players to improve daily.
Thanks for any response/criticism.
