Default 4/180 Just checking to see if anybody else would play it this way

This is the first hand so I have no reads at all. I'm really wanting to see if the flop is correct for everyone else. But advice on everything is cool too.



PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

CO (t1500)
Button (t1480)
SB (t1480)
BB (t1500)
Hero (t1500)
UTG+1 (t1500)
MP1 (t1500)
MP2 (t1500)
MP3 (t1540)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t100</font>, <font color="#666666">7 folds</font>, BB calls t80.

Flop: (t210) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets t20</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t180</font>, BB calls t160.

Turn: (t570) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets t160</font>, Hero?????

You're way ahead / way behind on the flop. So just call to induce bluffs on later streets and keeping the pot small makes it easier to get to show down.

That min flop bet is a bit confusing, usually this means super weak player.. If a weak player is betting I am on high alert.
33,AQ,KQ, QT, Q9, JQ obv less likely as well as any suited Q in small stakes all become possiblilities. I agree with getting this to showdown as cheap as possible. At the $4 level (which I play frequently), I'm never folding here, seen 55-TT, AK too many times.

Meh, 1st hand of the tourney I put him on KQ/QJ, assume that he's not folding and try to get to showdown cheaply on the off chance he's donk betting away with 88.

i would read the flop as a probe bet and call with the intention of betting or raising the turn. as played i think it's a fold on the turn.

raising the flop folds out worse hands. i like a call here to get at least one more bet out of a lesser hand. 20 chips is 20 chips. i want every one of them. i think the raise is more often than not incorrect here.
