This is the $11 10k guarantee 10k starting stacks on Bovada.

I raise EP to 777 (11k) with KQdd and sb calls (he barely covers).

Flop comes Q 7 J

He checks I bet 1100 into 2.2k he c/r to 3.3k I'll have 7k back pot is 6.2k with action to me.

Edit- nothing exciting has happened for me to have any significant reads on villain.

You've failed to input several other factors about the situation which become very relevant to seek advice for this particular scenario. From your description of the scenario, I can surmise that you are an amateur player, no offense, and that you neglected so many key details about your scenario that anyone competent in the field of N/L Texas Hold'em would not be able to properly respond.

I will tell you this, if this happened during the early stages of the tournament and you have yet to feel out your table and it's opponents, you generally should be folding at this spot. Unless you have a dead-on read or a gut instinct kicking through your chest telling you to shove all-in, most of the time it is correct to fold here.

In many cases, it is very easy for your opponent to have flopped two pair, QJ or Q7 and the lower end if bad beats a set of 7's or worse a set of Jacks. Aces or Kings are always a small possibly, too.

What is more likely, however, is that your opponent flopped a big enough combo/flush draw that he/she can raise in that spot on the flop with the knowledge that you in some way, shape or form could of hit that flop based upon your pre-flop raise. Your opponent's 3bet was far too light to really justify him/her having Aces or Kings, or otherwise your opponent is more opt to shove all-in to move you the aggressor off of a potential drawing hand.

K10os, K10S, 9 10os, 9 10s, or at least a high enough flush draw for your opponent can inspire him/her to raise your flop bet interpreting it as a C-BET or having accepted it as that you hit the flop in some way, shape or form and that you will likely shut down on the next street allowing your opponent to receive a free card on the turn and/or river and potentially take you offer the pot regardless of the your opponent's holdings.

Again, there are just way too many variables that you neglect to mention to really advise on any suggestions which should be given to help you achieve optimal play in this position.

Oops the blinds were 150/300 sorry. I had that written in but it got deleted.

Maybach this was on Bovada so it's random players. I stated that I have no other reads to give as to the players.

i proly fold this otf, its likely he could have a hand with alot of equity vs us like AcTc or Tc9c or have us crushed with 2p or a set and its unlikely he x/r with a worse made hand like QT as this board should hit our range fairly hard. Most opponents will x/c with worse made hands here.

As there is still x2 streets to come our hand can't really stand much heat to further action and there are tons of bad cards that can come where we will have to give it up after investing quite a few chips initially.
