Default Too weak? (22s)

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (8 handed) converter

MP1 (t745)
MP2 (t965)
CO (t935)
Button (t630)
SB (t700)
BB (t775)
UTG (t850)
Hero (t2400)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls t30, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises to t125</font>, <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, Hero calls t95.

Flop: (t295) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, MP1 calls t620 (All-In), Hero folds.


He's telling me he has QQ-AA, but a strong opponent might push w/AK here. Is folding too weak? I've been playing more tables at once lately, and I think it's causing me to miss out on some chips early that would help me on the bubble, so I'm trying to pay attention to my level 2-3 play.

I flagged this as I was playing as an uncomfortable fold, but looking back at it, it seems completely standard. Am I wrong?

Also, feel free to rip me about limping preflop. I've stopped limping with pairs smaller than 9s early. Should I stop doing it with 9s as well?
