Early tournament, fold it, take a note that this guy may chase with bad odds, you still have 1100 chips, and upping it to 2000 chips while risking your tournament life on a VERY dangerous board isn't worth it.
Even if he doesn't have it, he might have 2-pair (likely) or a low set (likely). If he's drawing, you make chips off this in the long run by FOLDING here, and taking your imaginary pot-odds money from the flop.
Only major mistake I can see here is checking the turn; you basically gave him the pot there, I'd bet that against a tight pfr with anything at all, but consider his range:
Good for you:
Suited/Unsuited Connecters T9-KQ (stone cold bluff)
Weird stupid hands like Q9
Crappy pair (probably Ax)
Kinda good for you:
AK (outs to split and outs to hit)
Kinda Axs especially if the X is an 8 or 3.
Bad for you:
Set, straight, 2-pair.
Major factors:
Scary ass board
Early Tournament
You were the preflop raiser (indicates you not holding 78s or other junk)
Decision:
Fold
Argument for raising:
You're arguing to your opponent that you have top straight, or at the very least trips and intend to get your equity from hitting your plentiful outs, or that you know he has nothing and can't call. You could raise 500 here and have a stack left, but give him good odds and a reason to push, or you could raise all-in and admit to stacking off with QQ on a 7654 board.
Arguement for calling:
See the river? I have no idea why you'd want another card to come down here, nothing improves your hand.
