Overpair line check... Bodog 100k

[EverettKings]

Bodog 100k. Level 2. Noone has done anything noteworthy yet.

Hero (t915) is dealt TT and posts the t20 BB.
UTG+1 (835) limps. MP (2030) raises to 80.
CO (1800) calls.
I call in the BB, limper folds.

Pot at 270. 3 to the flop of 772 rainbow.
I lead for 180. MP folds, CO calls.

Pot at 630. Turn Jc (two clubs on board). I lead for 280 (leaving me with 375), CO calls.

Obviously the river simplified things. My line before that I wanted to check out though. On the flop, I have a hard time crediting him for a bigger overpair. I had him pegged on 88/99 ish, small chance of a donk with a 7 or 22, or some other random crap.

On the turn I could have open pushed (I would have called a push) but I didn't want to lose 8s and 9s. I also didn't want to check and risk a free card, which is more likely to give him a chance to bluff or kill my action than to actually make his hand.


All fine and standard? Stacks aren't really deep enough for many other options, but it just felt funny.
