Looks fine to me.
The board is kind is drawy, so I think we have to bet the flop.
Preflop and the fold are good.

I might check behind on the flop and see what opp does, but I can see why you might bet the flop given there are draws on board and the fact that opps at a $2 tourney will limp/call a raise with plenty of other hands other than those that beat us.

You should always check behind on a flop like that and the preflop action. Playing KK preflop is exactly the same as AA against all of those limpers. You can still rep strength by checking behind on that flop and keeping the pot down. If he comes out firing on a blank turn you should take a look at bet size and likely have to let it go. If he continues to check on the turn obv bet.

Looks OK to me. The first hand of those low level tourneys are always a crap shoot. It is amazing to me what people will go all in with on the first hand. I think some of those $1.00 players always go all in the first hand to either double up or bust figuring they can just spend another $1.00 and try again in less than 2 minutes.

Well played
