Most people here will fold this without a moment's thought. I think it's probably a pretty good fold. You're going to be in first position following the flop, so that's unfortunate. Also, with the raisers and a caller, it seems highly likely that somebody is going to fire on the flop behind you, so unless you hit it super-hard, you're probably going to have to lay down on the flop.

You're playing 800 chip tourneys and have to be tight (not that I wouldn't also fold this OOP in a 1K, but just remember the guideline.)

Blind defense, playing hands like TT aggressively, etc. have their place in bigger tourneys more than smaller ones. I'd fold this here; in the TT hand, I'd limp/call PF or just raise/fold. Sometimes you turn out to be ahead after all but the percentage isn't nearly as good as when you just play TPTK aggressively and take somebody's stack when they see top pair and have to call.

Stacks aren't deep enough to make this call; I call this in level 1 on Stars.
