Hi guys, 1st post in Run it Once Mtt thread, the tournament is a 1€ Hold'em 180 players, it's the 4th hand of tournament, and we got no infos on villain, even if he seems a bit fishy.
I would like to knw, if you guys are ok with the line i took, and the sizing i decided to make.
Thanks for taking the time to answer. :)

With the board having two clubs, you could always opt for betting a larger amount than half pot. I would also always bet bigger in early stages of a tournament, as you want to build a pot (given that there are no antes yet, etc.).
You want value from Tx hands, pairs like 99-77 and even A-highs or broadways that he could be floating the flop with. You also want people to be paying for draws in this case on a suited board. Having no read what so ever and given the stage of the tournament I don't mind a fold on the river. Also his sizing looks so big his hand range is really polarized and people in a $1/€1 tournament are most likely playing straightforward ABC poker. I think he has it way more than he's bluffing at this point. It's just an unlucky runout for QQ, especially with the Q on the turn.
I think there are a lot of possibilities to play the hand. I would definitely cbet on the flop (with bigger sizing as I said before). I might go for a check-raise on the turn. If he checks-back the turn, you can both opt to bet or to check the river. Checking the river is also a good play because your giving the villain an opportunity to bluff. Also, if you check the river, he will bet smaller than 4K, so you will eventually lose less chips if you still call a river bet and lose.
(I'm new as well, this is my first reply so I might be wrong here though.)

Playing 200bb deep I would size up every street. I'd raise to 150 pre, then bet between 70-80% pot flop and turn. On this river I think betting or checking is fine, I probably prefer betting in a $1 tourney and checking in a higher stakes tournament. As played I think you can fold river as people just dont bluff rivers much at microstakes.
