No information on villian, literally 5 hands in or something.

This interesting spot came up and when he calls my flop bet I think a draw maybe pair of some kind here. I lead out on the turn and he instantly raises me., The card itself is rather horrid as it completes many two pair/draw hands. when he raises me on the turn, I'm either forced to get the chips in or fold, I folded though, not sure if I should of, just felt I was beat here. I just can't see himself committing us both here with air, sure he can fold here if he wants to a shove but considering the aggression and first hand I've played at the table, I can't see this ever being much of a bluff.

Be interested in some comments/thoughts on the hand and if we think we are beat here or if we have enough equity to just go all in on the turn? Obviously when we take in to account a limp UTG is either a pocket pair, 7'7s/10'10's/9'9s maybe or a much more realistic hand of Q,J or some sicko two pair he just hit, thoughts?!


So all in all, question here - nitty fold or not?

Brutal spot. I don't know if I have the "correct" answer but am very curious what others would do. I hate putting in almost 1/2 my stack and folding but this just feels like 77 or 99 to me. Its early and you still have like 60 BBs left if you fold so I'm pretty sure I'm letting this go and finding a better spot to get my chips in, but maybe I'm also too nitty?

Also, does anyone play this hand differently being an $11 MTT vs. say one of the higher buy in Sunday tournaments? Because I'm pretty sure I am folding in a big Sunday tourney, but perhaps in a low buy in tourney people are overplaying TPTK enough to make this worth a call?

Guess you should raise it bigger preflop and for sure if you are out of position.

As played I guess a fold is fine.
