Default 4/180- 66 on a low board

new to the table, so no real reads yet.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t200 (8 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t6985)
UTG+1 (t3755)
MP1 (t12845)
MP2 (t5338)
CO (t1065)
Hero (t6845)
SB (t17341)
BB (t3360)

Preflop: Hero is in Button with 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, <font color="red">MP1 raises to t400</font>, MP2 calls t400, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, Hero calls t400, SB calls t300, BB calls t200

Flop: (t2000) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (5 players)
SB checks, BB checks, MP1 checks, MP2 checks, <font color="red">Hero bets t1400</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, <font color="gray">BB folds</font>, <font color="red">MP1 raises to t2800</font>, <font color="gray">MP2 folds</font>, Hero calls t1400

Turn: (t7600) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)

fold the flop, you aren't beating any hand capable of checkraising.

I tend to also fold preflop to a relatively EP raiser with a pair this small.

But if he flops a set he could double up on him.

You are calling off 8% of your stack for an 8.5:1 shot at flopping a set, and villain needs to hit at least top pair/overpair to get stacked.

Bear in mind set value for smaller pairs goes way down as the tourney goes along. You don't get paid off nearly as much later in the tourney and the proportion of your stack you need to call preflop to hit that 8.5:1 shot goes way up.

He's already getting pretty decent odds though. He got 4 to 1 odds preflop basically. I understand that you must be very careful about playing small pairs for set value late in a tourney but here I think it's a cheap way to try.
