$5 PLO tourney on Stars. Down to around 40 players left out of 180. Table has become really tight but still playing well. Been trying to dabble into a few PLO tournies more lately and trying to get a general pool of thoughts on this.

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with T, J, 7, J. SB posts a blind of 150.
UTG raises, 6 folds, BB calls.

Flop: 9, Q, Q (2 players)
BB checks, UTG bets, BB folds.

Final Pot:

I can't convert the hand the way that I wanted too. I thought about calling to see a flop but I figured given my stack size any good flop would probably commit me. If the 7 in my hand was an 8/9 I probably would have called. If this were a cash game I might have raised the flop thinking his small lead was a scared KK/AA.

Was I right in just folding preflop or should I have tried to catch a good board and see what happens?
And then how to continue with the hand?

wow that converter is all kinds of fkd.

I'd probably raise preflop (I'm not sure where you fit in to this, or if it's a limit or pot limit tourney).
I might peel one on the flop (depending again on the bet amount)

I'z confused

Try again, if it doesn't work this time I just don't know what to do about it.

Wow, you at minimum have to see a flop here. I don't hate flat calling the UTG raiser. Then I'm putting his ass all in on the flop that came down, hoping he's got aces.

Like I said I'm trying to dabble into PLO tournies a little bit and definitely would have called if it were a cash game and likely raise flop......Just trying to learn to tighten up a bit because of a tourney setting.

Ended up 3rd outa 180 players, best PLO cash so far.

Nice job, sir.
