First hand in a $20 +$2 NL Party tournament.

I'm UTG with AKc, I raise 4x BB, it folds to the BB and he pushes all in. I call. He shows 99, I flop a gutshot and a flush draw, miss both and em eliminated. Not too interesting, but it poses an interesting question.

Would you do the same thing in order to gain possibly a huge lead early in the tournament? It's probably at worst a coinflip, and you may be way ahead. How important is opportunity to you in a tournament, and how far do you think is correct to establish a foothold?
