Fourth hand of the tourney, no info on Villain. Is it reasonably likely that it's a value bet OTT, with a pocket A? Do we fold?

Welcome to 2p2 - you did a good job naming your thread

fold pf (play much tighter than this in early levels)

much more inclined to take a passive line on this board and c/c flop

as played fold imo

I'd fold pre too, I'm very tight in BB though, maybe too tight.

Whilst there are players in these game that will make a near thoughtless bet on this turn with any two cards, having no reads on villain and limited draws for him to bet make it hard for me to find hands that we have any equity against. Weaker K, gut-shot, PP? I think they're all going to be checking behind frequently. ATC? I'd wait to have a medium-strong A here as my tight PF range often contains, then comfortably call him down.

I appreciate you guys taking the time to advise a noob. Will play tighter early into the tourney in the future.

I also find that check call flop is better than donk bet as you let all his bluffs in and the board is too dry to go bad on the next streets even on a checked flop
