blinds 15/30 tournament just started i have about 2800 in chips. a middle pos stack limps folds to me in small blind i make it 114 with QQ. the big blind (starting stack) pops it up to 450 the limper calls. (hes short and i have him marked as a fish) and i think and then flat call the 450. The flop comes 10J10 two diamonds. there is now 1350 + in the pot and the 3 bet BB c bets 750. Mid position limper folds. Is this a ship or a fold let me know your thoughts, thanks.

yeah.. was just very early. i definitely considered it. villain has KK it turns out. so im wondering if theres a chance to get away on flop. because his 3 bet range pre is what... like 1010- AA AK right? then the board being as it may i think i can fold flop... but i elected to airmail and got some bad news. i think mailing pre is alright but i dont love it

I dont love any of your options here...
I prefer to call pre, and c/c most runnouts depending of how the action goes.
On these soft tournaments I dont like to take out the chances of some players to spew their chips w/ a wider range, as many of them do that. Thats why I prefer this calling line instead of narrowing his range to call our jam pre w/ the top of his range.
