If I get called with a pot-sized bet, does it mean QQ+ or could it be JTs too, assuming all players are tight? And what about KJo, will I get called by that hand?

At the beginning of a tourney, it could mean anything. Your opponent could have a set, they could be slow playing an overpair, the could have TP-MK or WK, they could have middle pair. The beginning of a tournament is like walking in a minefield if you play these hands strongly, as (IMO) the value of TP this early has a negative expectation.
In the beginning, I don't raise weak hands like AJo (actually, I usually fold them in any position except the blinds here). I will play a lot of suited Ax's cheap, looking to hit a big hand like 2 pair, top pair with nut flush draw, trips, etc. On the flop, I don't bet weak top pairs, and will fold to a bet.
Unless I've taken a bad beat and have a low M, I'm not going to push this, because there's just too many maniacs who called my raise with 73s and now are going to trap me for a lot of chips by the time I figure it out.
