What are the stakes?

I think I shove over.
Villain almost never has QQ+ or a set here IMO.

Why did you fold?

Re: am i playing too tight? 1st level
 

At these stakes UTG +1 has a very large range, most of which you are crushing, I'd push. If I'm wrong tough.

I don't understand why you exclude this from villains range!?

I think for exactly these holdings his play is reasonable.

If we set his preflop raising range from early position to 88+,AJ+,KQ and he bets after the flop into 3 opponents we can devide it into two parts:

1.) We beat: TT

2.) We are beaten by: 88,99,QQ,KK,AA

(3.) we can pretty much exclude: AQ,AK,KQ - as the bet size is too large for a c-bet and betting into 3 opponents isn't really reasonable without a hand)

So I would say this is a fold unless I have some read, that his preflop range is wider than that.

Re: am i playing too tight? 1st level
 

This is early in the trny, and its a 5$. UTG+1 range is any PP, IMO.
88-99 is never overbetting this flop like that in these stakes and QQ+ doesn't make sense either.

I think this is a bet that doesn't want to get called.

Re: am i playing too tight? 1st level
 

imho utg+1 cant raise with small PP.
Villain has TT at least, and this is the only one, which is good for U.
on the other hand this is not a probe or C-bet, he want to finish here. if he has set, this would be foolish play. QQ-AA could have fear the draw, like JT.
this play is best for TT, i think this is, what he had.

this is a usual pot-size bet on the flop into 3 opponents - exactly what I would do if i play a set or QQ+

Re: am i playing too tight? 1st level
 

why would you put a PSB on this flop with a set?
