($33) 99 - Reasonable or FPS?
 

1st hand of tourney, no reads. I figured this was a pretty good way to represent the A effectively and cheaply, but I don't really have a plan if I get called. I've been experimenting with this play in similar situations recently.

Should I have bet the flop? Should I have raised more? Should I not be getting involved on this flop at all? Donkish idea to begin with?

I would fold preflop.

Then I would check/fold flop.

C/R T150 in order to win T240 isn't particularly cheap and probably even wouldn't make him fold TT+ with 5.5-1 odds, and you're OOTM for further rounds. I don't see any logical basis to c/r in this spot

I think I fold preflop and C/F this flop also.

I call for set value and C/F otherwise. Especially with only 800 starting chips, 1500 starting chips and you can be more creative.
