Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) converter (http://www.pushfold.com/converter/hhconverter.cgi)

MP3 (t1350)
CO (t1470)
Hero (t3170)
SB (t2425)
BB (t1470)
UTG (t1420)
UTG+1 (t605)
MP1 (t1580)
MP2 (t1510)

Preflop: Hero is Button with T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, T/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
<font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, MP3 calls t20, CO calls t20, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t80</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP3 folds, CO calls t60.

Flop: (t210) 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 2/images/graemlins/club.gif, A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">CO bets t210</font>(using the pot bet button), Hero ???

Which range should I put villian on here? I don't have any read on him yet, sorry. I guess a weak ace is a very likely holding for him here? What's my action? And PF, too small raise? Is limping an option?

Preflop is OK.

Postflop I mostly fold.

Calling is another option. If he puts in another biggish raise I would mostly fold. If he checks the turn I put in a 200 bet.

You could also go all-in on the flop. But this is probably -EV,

I guess this is why a pot-sized bet is often good on an A ragged flop. Non A hands are prone to fold here or do not know how to continue with the hand.

This is a $5, you fold this very fast. The guy 90% of the time has an A.

OK, I missed the buy-in in the header

People will play any ace in a 5. You are up against aces almost guaranteed. Fold.

i think it would be an unusual play for him to put in a pot sized bet without the ace, as it is just too risky after your pf raise. also i'd personally never limp with TT and that size stack. your raise looked good imo.

Don't you just love that "Bet Pot" button on UB?

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't, depends on if I'm in for the c/r or not /images/graemlins/smile.gif

What I do love is people using the check/fold button in BB when the table is down to 3-5 players. /images/graemlins/smile.gif I've seen this several times at UB since I started there a week ago or so, I can't remember seeing it on Party, but I guess that's a coincident.
