Really wasn't sure how I should play this one. It seems he could have only been playing back at me with an A, which was unlikely since there was already 2 out there

Even a King or Queen beats you so seems like a good fold. If he called you preflop I would think it's likely he has an ace, king, or queen. If you call the turn there may also be a river bet, so I like the fold.

I'd check the flop and go from there, def give up as played

I don't mind the flop bet early in the tournament; UTG+1 might be calling with suited connectors or a small pair or some other speculative hand, or he or she may even just be a fish. So you probably have some fold equity here.

But yeah, once that flop bet gets called, I'm done unless a jack hits.

[drmcboy]

you have FE against hands you have crushed, unless they will never bluff or will fire 2+ barrels on this board checking flop is much better.

[pat3392]

True, I'm essentially making the hands that I beat fold and the ones that I beat call so I'm essentially turning my hand, which still has some equity, into a bluff. However, I bet there to define my hand; it is very hard to know where I'm at if I check. What would I do if he/she bets there or on the turn?

[baudib]

I wouldn't bet this flop with anything less than KK or a total bluff like JT.

[drmcboy]

usually call 1 bet then give up. again, if you think your opp is capable of two barreling this board leading is maybe better but I would not assume that.
