I don't think it's an unreasonable fold this early in the tournament with a pot that small.

It's only weak if you had your crystal ball out and saw the J coming on the turn and still folded.

I have a feeling this is a hindsight post. Leave out the turn stuff and you'll see this is an easy fold.

How can there be a showdown online, and no one shows?

a pre-flop fold is a much better plan

with having Three people to act behind you, thats an easy laydown, You have second pair with second kicker. I would disregard the str8 draw, because the flush draw is there also, not a good Idea to draw to a str8 with 5 players in the pot and a flush draw on the board. with this hand you are either going to split or lose more often than win.

I think this is a good laydown. Not much money in the pot and you are out of position. The Jack is the only card that could really help you here and T120 is too much to pay to draw to it. Good play.

This flop could hit people in so many ways, and 6 players saw it, 3 of whom have yet to act (illustrating the problem with playing KQo up front)... fold, and it's not close.
