Default Flop middle pair (treys) in battle of blinds facing a pot overbet

Pokerstars $11, 45 player

Villian seems solid and views me as being solid based on comments from his chat.



PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (8 handed) converter

Button (t3020)
SB (t6545)
Hero (t3550)
UTG (t4050)
UTG+1 (t2690)
MP1 (t3610)
MP2 (t3625)
CO (t7595)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">6 folds</font>, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (t775) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets t1200</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero..?

Warning: Donk advice most likely follows.

I have a funny feeling you are behind here (no particular reason, I just have a feeling). That said, with 2000 in the pot and a call costing you more than 1/3 of your remaining stack I view it as a push/fold scenario with calling being a bad option (you really price villian into a later street push by just calling). As my feeling was that you are no good, I muck this one.

I like this hand and am interested in others thoughts.

I muck that and look for a better spot to get my money in. Even if he has a couple overs like KQ/AQ and you are ahead, he has outs. Often times you'll be up against a mid range pocket pair as well. I don't like playing for big chunks of my stack with bottom pair.
