i would have raised this hand preflop since you are last to act and noone showed strength. I believe your flop play is fine although the flop is worriesome. On the turn i am probably gonna cuss and mumble then fold since the board is so coordinated unless you, have any specific reads on villian. Possible str8, 2 pair, trips, or full house on board and it is too early in tournament to risk significant amount of chips with tptk on a board like this

I would fold the turn I think QK and J10 are very likely in this spot and even Q10 is possible.

It's coordinated and a pair is on the board. Minraise on the flop is either a weak hand setting up a bluff on a later street or a really strong hand. I'd fold the turn because I don't know where I'm at and half the cards on the river lead to me check/folding.

Hero folds for a couple of reasons.

Villain is making it too easy for hero to call, miniraise the probe bet, and reasonable bet on the turn.

Hero is going to have to give up if anything but a J comes on the river.

i called the turn and the river went check-check. villain has QJ and MHIG.

i thought about it later and thought it should have been a fold, that's why i posted it.
