Early on so no stats
UTG's first raise, had previously open limped 44 from EP and not cbet on 89J58 board

Pre - i did think about folding seeing as it was his first raise, but decided that was too nitty
OTF - I should have called surely and re evaluated OTT? no point calling pre if I'm not calling on this board right?

Poker Stars, $3.11 Buy-in (10/20 blinds, 3 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 9 Players

SB: 1,455 (72.8 bb)
BB: 1,726 (86.3 bb)

Hero (MP3): 1,446 (72.3 bb)
CO: 1,853 (92.7 bb)
BTN: 1,251 (62.6 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with Q♣: A♥:
UTG+1 raises to 40, 3 folds, Hero calls 40, 2 folds, SB calls 30, BB folds

Flop: (167) Q♦: K♥: 2♦: (3 players)
SB checks, UTG+1 bets 83, 2 folds

Results:

Pre-flop is close. I don’t think it’s bad to fold here. As played he bets in to 3 players and that would be bad if he’s doing it with less than top pair. So I would fold here for sure.

I think folding preflop is same as calling here in terms of EV. Personally I would call for such a cheap price and reevaluate OTF.
In the given circumstances I would fold OTF with a FD and overcard against a preflop aggro and cbet OTF from the passive.
