Default Re: Can you lay this down?

Im in the SB on the first hand of a sit n go so its only 5 more to me, obviously i call as im 2/3 the way in

I am noticing that it is thinking like this with hands like these that cost me alot of chips very unecessarily.
I would not complete this blind if the pot gave me five chips back, think about it, what do I need to flop besides the perfect flop, that I am happy or reasonably confident with?
If a J hits how can I put any chips into the pot with zero kicker? and the same goes for the three, second lowest card in the deck with a weak kicker. So unless JJ3, 33J or something equally unlikely and fantastical hits the board, I am in all the trouble there is.
It isn't so much the fact that it is only costing another five chips that should be important here but rather how many chips can I loose with this hand should I flop something that isn't perfect.
So, I dont know if I can lay this hand down. Frankly, I would like to think I can and would because I could clearly be in trouble here, and that isn't where I want to be on the first hand of a tourney, so rather than be in these spots....I will opt not to play these types of hands.
