OK, should I have raised pre-flop or not called the flop bet?

Played fine in my opinion. Preflop I would rather just call for set value than try to go all gonzo.

On the flop, sure you hate it if the guy has JT, but he doesn't have to. He could have 2 pair, he could have K with inside straight draw, and even if he has the straight you get 2 chances to fill up. Look at the loose call you got from the BB if you don't believe lots of hands will give you action here.

I'd definitely play it the same everytime against 1 or 2 opponents, I just wondered if there were any differences in how it should be played against more opponents? The probability someone has J10 goes up quite a bit and since this was the second hand of the tournament, .... well, it would be really hard to fold that.
