Hero (MP2): t1520

Pre Flop: (t60) Hero is MP2 with J

1 fold, UTG+1 calls t40, 1 fold, MP1 calls t40, Hero raises to t200, 2 folds, SB calls t180, 3 folds

Flop: (t520) 5

(2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets t360, SB raises to t1600, Hero folds

Realy not sure if my fold was correct or not. It was early in the tournament and i had virtualy no read on the player(TI said he was neutral passive but it was only 10 hands in). Looking back on the hand i think i should have bet less preflop, maybe 160, and less on the flop, making it an easier fold.

how did he get his chips?

I just assume he isn't all that great since he coldcalled your 5x raise oop. Unless he is tarping with KK+, there isn't a hand that i could see a good player flatcall here. Maybe AK or QQ if he knows who you are.

I like your line. pf raise size is absolutely fine. 3bb +1bb for every limper is a good rule of thumb.
flop bet is alright, but 275-300 will do the same trick. he def doesn't check/raise a lot of worse hands and even the worse hands have nice equity (like QJ or AQ). So, a fold is the only option.

You played the hand fine. I would make it like 300 on the flop and fold to a check/raise.

Though depending a lot on read. Against a donk I'm calling of here.

Standard fold imo

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 20.420% 19.87% 00.55% 41307 1146.00 { JJ }
Hand 1: 79.580% 79.03% 00.55% 164301 1146.00 { KTs+, QJs, KTo+, QJo }

Not sure what other hands could be in his range, will happily be corrected.

Standard fold, you can include AQ just make things interesting, but I would stick around only against a donkey.

i think this is a fold, obv villain cant fold 55 preflop because he has a good feeling about flopping a set.

Nice hand, but i like a check behind on this flop, betting we are turning the jj into a bluff.

I'd check QQ but bet JJ.
