Default ($60) I suck at pressing fold

UTG is dixon01, tight regular (probably too tight late game) and a 2p2er (jman avatar). This should be a fold on the turn? FWIW i 'thought' about it before calling on the flop to try to make my hand look weaker, but i'm not sure really what he is doing with TT/JJ preflop... bleh

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t50 (9 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t1505)

I can get away from JJ vs a tight regular in this spot. but QQ is tough.

I'm calling. He's an alright player but not good enough for me to fold this.

If it was me you met UTG in this spot I can tell you I have QQ+ in my ordinary play. If too bored I might do the same with JJ.

I'm probably folding JJ, but not QQ+ since I expect he would check AA/KK sometimes.

I calling the push on the turn, but I am not expecting to be good here more than 50% of the time. Which is fine given the pot size. Sure looks like they have TT+.

I'd just fold PF but you can't fold now. Others can explain.

If I call the flop bet its with the intention of getting it all in on non Ace or King turn. He'll have AA/KK here a lot but I'd be shocked if it was over 55% of the time.

Not true, since his hand range changes since i called the flop. I did call and wasn't sure if it was just a setup hand or if people can get away from it.

You seriously fold preflop?

A lot of people who are basically tight don't know what to do with mid pairs at lvl 3. So they raise. Actually no one knows what to do with mid-pairs EP lvl 3. There's no way you can lay this down
