Default Help me with this hand early in Event 25

About 30 minutes into round 2 (50-100 blinds). I have 3400 chips (started with 4K). I have played a few small pots, won and lost, not shown down a hand. My image is pretty tight. Villain in this hand has been splashing around a lot, but hasn't shown down a hand of note.

In UTG+1 I have TT. I raise to 300, which had been the standard raise at this level. Coming from a tight player in EP, I figured it would earn some respect, so I didn't need to overbet. Folded to SB, who calls. BB folds. Pot is 700.

Flop comes 753, two clubs. I don't have a club. Villain checks. I bet 500. Villain calls. Pot is 1700.

Turn is a 5 that doesn't complete the flush. Villain checks. I have 2600 left and villain has me slightly outchipped.

What's my move here?

Check or bet, and if so, how much to bet?

So if he check raises you all-in, just what do you think you are beating?

To the guys who said all-in, I take it then you are 100 percent certain he's on a straight or flush draw?

You wanna risk your whole tourney this early on a one-pair hand?

7x, 88, 99, flush draw, straight draw, lots of hands.

but if he check raises me all in, what am i not beating? that's an awful long way to go for JJ or QQ, and does he really have a 5? i mean, it's 77 or 33, basically.

So you have raised preflop, bet the flop, bet the turn, and the villain is going to think he's ahead with one of those hands? Wouldn't he be more likely to raise the flop with one of those?

I agree that he doesn't have JJ or QQ since he didn't reraise PF, although he may have just called JJ. Again, I think he'd raise that on the flop.
