Hi, what ya think?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t40 (10 handed) Hand History converter Courtesy of PokerZion.com

UTG (t2680)
Hero (t2000)
UTG+2 (t1920)
MP1 (t2000)
MP2 (t1680)
MP3 (t1960)
CO (t1480)
Button (t1720)
SB (t2560)
BB (t2000)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
1 fold, Hero calls t40, 2 folds, MP2 calls t40, MP3 calls t40, CO calls t40, Button calls t40, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t280) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (7 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets t190, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO folds, Button raises to t440, SB folds, BB folds, Hero hates to get called by some random twopair but .... shoves [t1770]

How to play this differently? Obviously my flopbet is pretty small but it was some kinda probebet and I didn't want to build a big pot since there were so many ppl to see the flop.
In retrospective, I think it's an pretty easy fold to the raise, right?

With everyone seeing the pot, I think I play veeeeeeeery passively.

basicaly c/c once and fold to any heat.

Thanks rex - guess this situation is a serious leak.
Since I never played any other variant than sngs, I feel kinda lost in some postflop spots.

Raise or fold preflop. I saw in your other thread that you openlimped EP with TT, is there a particular reason you do this with great starting hands?

Any reads on button thus far? could this be a steal? i think i check/call also, but would probably *shove* depending on button reads.

This early in an stt im not raising AQo in EP. TT itself is still just a middle pair and again in EP i would prob play TT the same way in most situations.

Well ok, playing TT for setvalue early in the stt is OK I guess. But limping EP with AQo is kinda meh. Either raise or fold these TPTK-type hands. Situations like this sucks. Just my opinion tho.

I thought limping TT and AQ is pretty standard early, noez?
the advantage is that i give a fish a chance to limp QJ, A5-type hands behind and build a nice pot.
it sucks when you get so many limpers tho.
i raise both in later stages.
