First orbit in a $100 Texas NL multi at Pokerstars.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed)

MP2 (t1400)
MP3 (t1400)
CO (t1470)
Button (t1690)
SB (t1460)
Hero (t1500)
UTG (t1500)
UTG+1 (t1580)
MP1 (t1500)

Preflop: Hero is BB with J/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/club.gif.
all folds until, <font color="CC3333">Button raises to t100</font>, SB folds, Hero calls t80.

Flop: (t210) 3/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 3/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 2/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="CC3333">Button bets t180</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: t390

Did I play this like a *beep*? I wanted to re-raise but how much..I have no read so he actually can have a hand and I could go out. Should I just muck it? I know that even if I hit an ace I could be in trouble.

What should you do?

Thx

i wouldnt put anyone on a steal raise until the blinds are actually worth stealing, i dont think you did anything wrong here

I actually would put him on a steal raise, as I often see people trying to steal on the internet when the blinds are insignificant. However, that doesn't mean you played it incorrectly. There's no need to lose a lot of chips in this insignificant pot. It's so early in the tournament, you're probably going to find many better spots to get many more chips.

he flopped quads and you ducked trouble.

he could have aaaaaany pocket pair here and be ahead of you. cast that hand in the muck and move on.
