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.
