Default Hand 4, JJ UTG

Fourth hand in $20k Gtd...

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t40 (10 handed) internettexasholdem.com

Hero (t2960)
UTG+1 (t2875)
UTG+2 (t3000)
MP1 (t3000)
MP2 (t2900)
MP3 (t2710)
CO (t3595)
Button (t2820)
SB (t3140)
BB (t3000)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t120</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, MP3 calls t120, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Button calls t120, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>.

Flop: (t420) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t400</font>, MP3 folds, Button calls t400.

Turn: (t1220) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

River: (t1220) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: t1220

Convertor is missing turn betting (so turn and river pot totals are also wrong - is there a problem with the convertor?), turn betting is as follows:
Hero bets [800].
Button raises [1600].
Hero is all-In [1640]
Button is all-In [700]

Is it obvious what Button has?

Most likely a set but AK would have been reasonable guess in a 20.00 tourney.

I had put button on TPTK / maybe AK / or an overpair to the board and I am Ok if button shows QQ+. I am not Ok with the results, and felt a little silly falling headfirst into the trap. Am I showing my inexperience by not getting away from this on the turn?

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
Hero has Jh Jd (one pair, jacks).
Button has 2s 2h (three of a kind, twos).
Outcome: Button wins t1220. </font>

Still learning. Thanks...

I don't know that you played it that poorly.

I would have been a bit suspicious when he flat called that flop though. It's a failry uncoordinated board so it's unlikely he called with a drawing hand. If he had a hand like A8 or 99, etc. he would have probably raised on the flop to see if it was good. With him just calling, I would start thinking he may be trapping but it's a tough hand to get away from.

I don't think it's "obvious" what he has but this early in the tourney, I like to slow down on the turn and see if I can get to the river and showdown as cheap as possible.
