Default $216 top 2 pair

How's the line here?
I bet small on the flop in the hope of gaining a raise from the original better. I don't like the massive raise on the turn though but think I have to reraise it all in - I am good most times at the beginning of this particular tournament but not so sure what to do:

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $10/$20
9 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $2980
UTG+1: $1970
Hero: $2690
MP2: $3000
MP3: $2970
CO: $3440
Button: $3320
SB: $2980
BB: $3650

Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is MP1 with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, Hero calls $20 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was $50)</font>, 2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">CO raises to $110</font>, 3 folds, UTG+1 calls, Hero calls $90 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was $270)</font>.

Flop: 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($360, 3 players)
UTG+1 checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $140</font>, CO calls, UTG+1 calls.

Turn: 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($780, 3 players)
UTG+1 checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $480</font>, <font color="#cc0000">CO raises to $2220</font>, UTG+1 folds, Hero ?

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you're asking for.

Because only a weak player usually does something like call the flop and then massively raise a blank river.
Villain's overbet just looks weird...

I'm pushing here everytime.

What exactly are we afraid of anyway? TT?- that's not enough to worry me.

But yeah, jam.
