This is the third hand of the tournament so there are no real reads. Is this sort of play costing me a lot, or am I trapping continuation bets often enough here?

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls t15, Hero calls t15, <font color="#666666">
2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises to t75</font>, <font color="#666666">
4 folds</font>, BB calls t60, UTG calls t60, Hero calls t60.
<font color="blue">MP2 has a hand he considers a raising hand (store for later). I call closing the action with those callers in front of me.</font>

BB checks, UTG checks, Hero checks, MP2 checks.
<font color="blue">So he checked behind. I'm thinking he doesn't like his hand and might want to see a free card. AA/KK/QQ/JJ are probably betting with the flush draw out there.</font>

BB checks, UTG checks, Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 bets t200</font>, BB folds, UTG folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets all-in t895</font>.
<font color="blue">He just bet 2/3 of the pot on a card that didn't change my relative status. Since I thought I was probably ahead after he checked behind on the flop, I'm putting him on maybe a missed AK/AQ.
