    Default $22 - KK with nasty flop

    just second blind level so no credible reads. What is your play here and why?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $20+$2 Tournament, 15/30 Blinds (9 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    CO (t1180)
    Button (t2390)
    SB (t1440)
    BB (t860)
    Hero (UTG) (t1660)
    UTG+1 (t1710)
    MP1 (t1310)
    MP2 (t980)
    MP3 (t1970)

    Hero's M: 36.89

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with K, K
    Hero bets t90, 3 folds, MP3 calls t90, 1 fold, Button calls t90, SB calls t75, 1 fold

    Flop: (t390) Q, A, J (4 players)
    SB bets t120, Hero ????

    wow, at first I though peel one but honestly I think you can just fold. if we closed the action I'd see one more

    Seems like a relatively easy fold because any reasonable range for SB has good equity against you, and there's still 2 left to act.

    Like if we call and get HU vs SB what's the plan? Hope he keeps firing a FD or a worse pair + gutshot? Our gutshot and BDFD outs are action killers against worse so I think we just gotta bail.

    fold, no need to take big risks early in a sit'n'go

    ^^^ My thoughts exactly.

    FWIW, I'd make it 120 to go from UTG. I'm not afraid of building a big pot with KK.

    Fold. The only players staying in this hand have you beat or have good draws. Unless a 10(non spade) hits your hand is not improving to a winning hand.

    that thought hit me about a millisecond after I hit raise.

    I folded then button folded as well.

    In a 4 way flop you are bound to be behind, fold

    Easy fold...you have 3 opponents that called your UTG raise. At least one of them has an Ace.

    If is a HU situation thats harder to make a decision, but I tend to fold to a donk bet like this, specially in 22$ tables...

    At the micro tables I play, I see bizarre donk bluffs all the time with middle pairs. Could be a call in this case depending on specific reads.
