This was very early in the tournament ( < 10 hands), so I didn't really have a read on the villain. I played only one pot previously and took it down on the turn. The only hand I could think a sane person could play that hit that hard would be A2s, 22, or 33. How should I play this against an unknown?

Full Tilt Poker The Big Little No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t20/t40 Blinds - 9 players

UTG+1: t1455 M = 24.25
Hero (UTG+2): t1710 M = 28.50
MP1: t1425 M = 23.75
MP2: t1000 M = 16.67
CO: t1430 M = 23.83
BTN: t2320 M = 38.67
SB: t1505 M = 25.08
BB: t1395 M = 23.25
UTG: t1260 M = 21

Pre Flop: (t60) Hero is UTG+2 with J

2 folds, Hero raises to t160, 4 folds, SB calls t140, 1 fold

Flop: (t360) 2

(2 players)
SB bets t160, Hero raises to t480, SB raises to t1120, Hero ?

Arrrrrr in! He's got an overpair, fair chance that you've got the better one since he didn't re-raise pre. If I'm wrong oh well, fire up another!

Fist pump shove it in, especially in this tournament where his range is could even include a hand like A3.

Shove it. No way ur getting trough that huge field by folding JJ in this flop. If he has an overpair, so bet it. These mtts are filled with idiots and ppl trying to build a huge stack early on.

Alright, I dumped it, which seemed dumb after I thought about it (hence a new 2+2 account is born). I had been concentrating on playing more tight in my game, which proved to be a large mistake in this tourny. I probably won't make this mistake again...or, for those of you with large stacks, I just might.

Never folding in early stages here with 1/2 my stack in already.
