This was the second hand in the tournament. With two live players behind I didn't know it would be such a great of a call. Also if I would call I'm OOP. That is the reasoning behind me folding this.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, 1 Tournament, 20/40 Blinds (9 handed) - Party-Poker Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

UTG (t3000)
Hero (SB) (t3920)
CO (t2900)
MP1 (t2840)
MP2 (t3200)
Button (t2280)
BB (t2840)
UTG+1 (t2960)
MP3 (t3060)

Hero's M: 65.33

Preflop: Hero is SB with K

, Q

2 folds, MP1 calls t40, MP2 calls t40, MP3 bets t220, 2 folds, Hero.. folds

np. theres just really no need to get involved and MP3 represents 99+,AQ+ or so. What buyin was this?

I fold it all day long in that position to a call from anyone but a callstation. What do you do if you do flop top pair? So often you'll end up betting into the better hand in this position here. (especially after calling a raise).

In the specific circumstances described I'd fold AJ,AQ or KQ.

KQo is definitely a fold here, if the raise would be smaller you could call with some drawing hands that play well multiway, suited connectors + low pockets for set digging, as it is if you are not strong enough to reraise (in a 2$ buyin say TT+, AQ+) just fold
