Weak ass play?

[Jinky04]

This hand is from the start of the laddies highstack tourney- 4000 chips with a 15min clock and 10/20starting blinds- this obviously had a big effect on the way I played this hand so I welcome opinions.

Early days, only 4th or 5th hand of tourney, I pick up  in mid pos. No ones limped so I pop it up to 80. Cutoff+1 reraises me to 280 and the small blind flat calls. Now most tourneys with 1500 chips I fire the stack in there and then and hope I'm ahead but given the amount of play in this tourney I felt this was premature in the first level- I decide to flat call and push my hand if the flop comes without an ace or king. First mistake?

Pot: 860

Flop:     

The small blind comes out firing, betting 1100 into the pot. I dwell and pass- my thinking was that the overbet signalled extreme strength and that I was drawing thin to none against the SB. This was coupled with the fact I had my preflop reraiser still to act behind me. The original reraiser moves in  and the SB calls instantly. SB-  original raiser shows  and the queens hold on the turn and river. So was this overly weak play, even given the stack size/ blind ratio?

I think it's a good fold. Re-raiser acting after you, SB has shown decent amount of strength.

If you are going to fold on this flop then you should have folded preflop.

fair fold IMO....especially with that possible flush out there. OK you had the queen  and I@ve seem plenty of people take a shot because of it and there's something to be said for it...I personally like the lay down..

With one player to act behind you and that board, I think that's a pass for me. You got loads of chips back, and there's no need to put your chips into a pot where you could be up against a set, a draw or a bigger pair.

Agreed it's a good fold, even knowing what he had I'd fold rather than face the coin flip situation (at that stage of the tourney anyway)
