With deep stacks, I always fold top pair!

Dude, this is Party. You have TPTK. Stacks aren't really that deep. These donks will never fold top pair, or even middle pair half the time. I probably just bet the turn.

I agree, sort of. My cash game play has definitely been affecting my tournament play lately, so I have been folding top pair more often.

Ansky,

I was going to say that this sounds like a cash game type hand much more than a tourney hand. I understand your reasoning and especially with a Q falling on the river (getting on of the hands that were behind there) I can see this as a possible fold. I personally would not fold but I would certainly consider it.

Do you not think 99-JJ could be in villian's range? Calling what seeems like a standard cbet on the flop, then it's checked behind on the turn so villian figures to bet on river. Perhaps not, but it would seem to me this is certainly a possibility (a questionable play, but a possibility nonetheless).
