Though those were good enough cards to flop a good hand.

On the flop with the top pair and second best kicker seemed like a good spot to bet, I actually wanted to bet 2/3 of the pot but dunno what happened.

Looking at the hand now, maybe I souldn't even bet the turn and fold to any bet, and as it was played I should have just folded to the re-raise. So early on the tournament, no reason to play this.

How would you play this ?

Blinds:10/20
Stacks:
UTG - UTG (T1,420)
UTG+1 - UTG+1 (T2,920)
UTG+2 - UTG+2 (T960)
MP - MP (T2,070)
MP2 - MP2 (T1,010)
CO - CO (T1,220)
BTN - BTN (T2,100)
SB - SB (T1,800)
BB - Hero (T1,500)

Preflop: (T30, 9 players) Hero is BB with K♠ Q♣
2 folds, UTG+2 calls T20, 1 fold, MP2 raises to T80, 3 folds, Hero calls T60, UTG+2 calls T60

Flop: Q♠ 7♦ 3♠ (T250, 3 players)
Hero bets T90, 1 fold, MP2 calls T90

Turn: 9♣ (T430, 2 players)
Hero bets T200, MP2 raises to T840 (all-in), Hero calls T640

River: J♦ (T2,110, 2 players, 1 all-in)

Total Pot: T2,110

Pre-flop is fine to defend here against most villains.

On the flop I most likely check/call against the pre-flop agressor, but leading multi way is fine as well.
Bet sizing is indeed to small. I would always bet at least half pot here.

Turn bet looks fine, but I don't think he will shove with worse here and was folding better I think.

Yeah, really don't know what happened on this hand.
Wrong bet size, no reason to call =/
