Default Top Pair K kicker vs a Insta miniraise

no reads early in the tourney
micro stakes

i wasnt really feeling it
and didnt like the instant mini raise
with this little info i would put him on 2 pair or maybe a set of 4s

is folding bad here ?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) internettexasholdem.com

MP3 (t1680)
CO (t1560)

SB (t1550)
BB (t1040)
UTG (t1325)

MP2 (t1410)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

You bet 74? lol. Anyway, i actually think i call here. I think you see a lot of flush and straight draws here, but also quite possibly a lower jack. Set of 4's is meh, i dont know if he would minraise you there with a set, seems bad for value.

All in all, i think your probably ahead, and considering you would have to call 1/4 the pot to continue, i call here to reevaluate after the turn.

rofl, no. i mean, think about this flop and what kind of hands fit into it, and stop assuming everyone who minraises has a monster.

well i did
i assumed AJ would of raised at these stakes
so i do have the best single pair with best kicker

but the things people limp with include 44 9J and sometimes also 9s now ok that are only 3 cards

and the other limping hands i put them on TQ TJ JQ 9T
i can beat

but what my real qeustion actually is

with what hands is villian miniraising this flop with ?
