Three moves from an article on Small Stakes Tournaments

the reason 2 is ok is because if you bet out and get called you really havent learned too much where as the check raise might help you put a hand on them but cost more chips.

these moves all suck in SNGs. In multi-tabl tournaments, none of them are that bad.

Yeah, the basic problem is you don't have enough time. After c/r ing and finding out you're probably beat, you're about pot comitted anyway. The information is way too expensive.

I'm not convinced line 3 is bad, especially at level 1 (on Party) it seems playable. There's a good chance you could add 150 or so to your stack even if you miss the flop.
