Thanks guys glad to hear the input I found myself in a similar situation with 99.
This early in the tournament what do you think about a check fold?
I think it's enough that I don't mind folding TT since the blinds are 10/20. I'm usually only really playing for set value having overpair to the board is tough though.
I don't think TT is good here too often, the only thing I'm beating is overcards but how likely is someone with overcards cbetting this flop so much.
Anywho I am relunctant to lay down overpairs especially since these tourneys run so often and I check raised but I felt I'd be comitted enough that I won't check raise fold so I just check raised all in and villain had JJ. Another similar situation occured again early on with 99 flopping overpair but check raise shoving into AA.
It was the 4th hand in the tourney, I think looking back and not trying to be results oriented but I think I should've leaned towards a fold, there is plenty of time to wait for a better spot.

And here is the 99 hand the tourney structure for the 99 hand was much slower so I think for sure I should've folded but I was fortunate enough to bink the river anyway.
