How to win MTTs: (or how not to be a fish)

I had a similar situation today:

Early in a Low buyin MTT filled with calling stations. Limped with TT preflop. Flop is KdTd9h. Checked to me, I bet the Pot. One caller, Turn pot is around 300, with me and the Villain at around 1350 chips.

Turn is a blank. There is no amount of chips I could possibly bet to make the Villain make a mistake. Considering that the final pot Villain could win from me would have to be less than 1500 chips, there's no way that I would fold to a 300 chip bet into a pot of 900 chips (assuming I bet the pot on the Turn) against a calling station. But if I bet less than pot, I'll be giving him pot odds still. If I overbet the pot, I'll be pot committing myself to the point where I'd have to Push, which means a fold from Villain.

I think the problem is really reverse implied odds. I ended up betting about 200 chips and the River came a 9. Villain pushed, and I folded. Probably had a J. I ended up with a still healthy stack to continue with.

So you folded the 2nd nut full house, and your read on him was that he had a J?
