    just sat down at the table and get this, from what i feel, is a pretty common spot i come up against in micro tournies.. more times than not i feel like its a snap fold with my pos etc, but i mean i guess because it is a $2 tourny and its kinda hard to put villain on a specific range in these tournies i wanted to get opinions on how you play this out.. thanks for any responses:

    TBH, with it being so early in the tournament, I'm prob folding JJ here. Seems nitty, but I doubt villain is doing it with 1010 or <, and most of the time you are either just crushed by a higher PP or racing with a,k. Flatting is bad since there's gonna be an over to your jacks most of the time on the flop.

    Fold, wait for a better spot.

    i would prob flat pre, obv hope to flop a J and any 10 high flop and non threating boards either c-bet or shove over his c-bet hoping he folds or calls with AK, AQ
    Any boards with A, K, Q either fold or check call, prob check call as all those cards can hit his range at this buy in level. If it is a 10 high board and he flops a set with his PP prob tough to get away unless turn, river is an over card

    I would flat here because its really early in the tourney and you have position here. I think you could put them on a wide range and Anallise the flop. On a high board you can fold to a c bet. Low board prolly getting it in. if you hit a set you can trap by maybe flatting the c bet on flop and jamming turn.
