Do I need to play this flop?

$3.30 MTT. No real reads on the villain, which is why I think this is a fold? I've looked pretty solid, I have been aggressive in position when folded to in the CO, button. I suspect this hand isn't interesting; this is a head check. Comments?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (9 handed) converter

Hero (t7140)
MP2 (t1805)
MP3 (t2070)
CO (t3665)
Button (t2590)
SB (t5770)
BB (t2730)
UTG (t5738)
UTG+1 (t5280)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls t150, 1 fold, Hero raises to t600, 5 folds, BB raises to t2880, UTG folds, Hero ?

i think a fold is alright there...

vs a kinda tight range: 99+,AQs+,AKo

you're exactly a 2:1 dog.

He's probably pushing more than that for a typical player at $3.30 but ah well

It's possible...but is he pushing light over a UTG limp and into a raise from the table chip leader? I thought that might have tightened him up considerably.

Thanks. Oh, and GL.

I probably call this in a 3.30..but don't call it in any tournament with a higher buy in.

I have no mathematical evidence to support this.

I don't call this even in a 3.30.

I'm with you. I'm sure it's been said before, but I can't really tell any major difference in play from a $3.30 to a $22. Then again, I might not be sophisticated enough to discern the subtleties. Maybe the shift happens at $55.
