Default Stars $22. Think I made a great laydown UTG...please advise.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) converter

Hero (t1815)
UTG+1 (t1520)
MP1 (t1105)
MP2 (t1975)
MP3 (t1370)
CO (t795)
Button (t1760)
SB (t940)
BB (t2220)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t120</font>, UTG+1 calls t120, <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t940</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero folds, UTG+1 calls t820.

Flop: (t2030) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Turn: (t2030) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

River: (t2030) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: t2030

Went into the think tank on this hand...I was sort of sandwiched, and I had a good feeling that UTG+1 was going to call, but at the time I was getting a little better than 1:1 on my money, but if UTG+1 calls I'm still only getting 2:1, and didn't like that position. Is my math wrong? I figured at least one of them had a higher PP than I did, or at least AK vs AQ or AK vs KQ or something and I was not a favorite to win a race with 3 contestants.

The flop of course made me ill, but I still think I made a decent laydown.

Thoughts? Am I stupid, dumb, pathetic, a donk? Or did I make a decent laydown leaving me with plenty of chips to do damage with in a better spot down the road.

This is a pretty standard fold for me

Also don't post the flop and such, it doesn't really matter does it? I mean you hit your set but that early you shouldn't be looking to take coinflips so folding JJ there is definitely the smart move.

Easy fold because of the early level in the event for me.

I think it's a reasonable enough fold but there's definitely a problem with your math. You're right that if UTG+1 calls you're getting 2:1 on your money, but if he folds, you're getting WAY better than 1:1. In fact, you're getting a little better than 1.5:1. So if you think SB will make his play with hands like AQo and TT, you should perhaps call.
