plan was to raise and hope i can hit a big flop. instead get 3bet with a caller. flop top pr no kicker. the lead bet and call seemed weak or really, really strong. i take my stand to see where im at. whn i make it to the river can i fold to this bet????

It is way to early to be putting yourself into these kind of marginal spots. 1st hand of the tourney you have no information on anyone you don't have history with and there is a ton of clowny play at this buy-in. I let it go, yeah your deep, but what are you really playing for with this hand other than flopping the nut flush. Seems to be way to early to get marginal. Let it go, start collecting information on your table which you can use when things get shorter. As far as what the betting is telling you, he connected with the flop. My guess on the turn is you dodged a check/raise by checking behind so he decided to just value bet you, but I would expect more often than not he has you beat and pretty good at that. Like I said send it to the muck, no sense spewing half your stack away on a TP/crap kicker situation this early on, just makes it way to hard to recover.

No way.
We raise to 60 and he clicks it back to 100. Never fold there. The implied odds are far too great if you end up making a flush or trip 7's.
Not to mention someone else calls before it gets back to us so you should never fold pre here.
As TaiijiX said if you don't flop 2 pair or a flush draw and there's post-flop action, pitch it.

Fold to the raise? Everyone watched the preflop marginal spots theory vid or something lol? Ofcourse we have to put in the 40 extra. We're with 3 players to the flop and we can always hit flushes/flushdraws/2pair/trips. With the ace in the hand you have blockers against aces so it would be rare for someone to have that. The flopbet I call, raising is pretty bad and you will make them lay down all their worse hands. . Now they called, unles you hit your full house, don't put anything in the pot.
I'd call pre and call the flopbet. When the bets get bigger on the turn I let go
