respect 2 overs in the future.

Preflop:
Call is fine.

Flop:
2 overcards
+
hit villain's range
+
early in the tournament
=

Turn & River:
Checking is fine. No need to attempt any bluffs against a fairly strong range, especially that early, especially with some microscopic showdown value.

I agree with the others, check/fold is the right move here with two overs.
