How easy is this to fold? Folding leaves me with a decent stack (~7.5k)

No reads or stats, as this is my first hand at the table. I should be folding pf looking at it now.

Right fold preflop and you don't have these decisions.

This looks to me like AQo, 98, set or a ST8 protecting their hand against a FD. I'd expect any draws here to take the free card. I don't think I could put my tournament on the line with TP2ndK.

If you think villain really is bully then call. Bet more on flop next time with wet board and two opponents.

I don't mind the raise preflop, and you have to c-bet that flop. Good slow down on the turn, because they are calling you with something. It looks to me like villain hit something on the turn and thinks you'll stack off with top pair. Folding is good here, I don't think he's making this play with air.

You correctly answered your own question, imo.

KQ from EP is a tricky hand to play. With no reads and no info, the chances of getting into trouble are high. You would do better to sit back and establish a tight table image, so that they will respect your raises down the line a bit.

once u have good post flop skillz, i dont mind raising with KQo in ep

but as played u should probably fold, his range is fairly strong and ur not ahead very ofte

Why 'possible bully' if this is your first hand at the table? He's also a 'possible nit'...
