This is the first hour of a $26 USD MTT. Villain in MP1 is new to the table.
After Villain's lead Am I still best? what is the best line for me on the flop? and based on that what is my plan for the turn and river?

CO: t2040 17 BBs
Pre Flop: (t180) BoozePeddler is MP2 with J A
3 folds, MP1 raises to t360, BoozePeddler raises to t720, 4 folds, MP1 calls t360
Flop: (t1620) J 2 A (2 players)
MP1 bets t480, BoozePeddler ??????
I'm always in 2 minds whether to play hands like this fast or slow……
I think PreFlop if I'm 3betting here I make it bigger 2.5x-3x in size……. If I were playing the hand I think I just flat call the raise. You also have a 17xBB stack just behind you in the CO who might pull the trigger and shove.
His donk bet on the flop, could mean anything.(Pretty small bet):
Could be holding:
KJx, QTx, AxK, Ax?x, JxT, KQx….. plus other combo draws etc, could even be a set of 2's
One thing is for, if he is holding the K, I doubt very much he is folding to your raise.
I probably smooth call the donk bet and evaluate turn action on non club turn card, if it's a non club and checks to you, I bet. If it's a club and he bets, I probably lay it down providing it's not an ultra small bet compared to the pot size etc.
