I fold this preflop. As played c/f turn I guess.

I agree with steve, should have folded preflop.

You don't wanna be limping with hands like this under the gun, and this hand is a good example of why.

You play the entire hand out of position against these players and you have no definate idea of where you are in the hand.

Another point is that early on in these sit and go's you are not really stressed to gain chips. The amount of you chips you will win with this hand are not really going to help you win the tourney, so if somehow you are in this situation just shut down when you encounter resistance. No point in spewing chips with an exploitable top pair, board paired, and a flush draw.

Fold preflop.

As played the flop is good, I probably check/call reasonable turn bets and river depends on community and action of other players.

QJo utg is a huge mistake, even world class players could not play this for a profit.
