People fall into different camps with TT, kinda like JJ where they don't like the hand because it doesnt often hold up and might just want to play it for set value, others (like myself) recognise it as a premium hand and therefore play it strongly. As I am with the latter, i'm almost always re-raising pre-flop, to something like 270-360. Doing this gives me a better definition of the hand, and we can fold most of the times they 4-bet shove on us because they're going to have an overpair more often than not when they do that in a satellite.
The same can be said about the flop. We LOVE this flop. It's very rare that we see a flop with TT and are not facing overcards, and there are only 2 (likely) hands that we were beating pre-flop, which are now losing to, which was A9 or 33. As played and assuming it's a rainbow board, we can almost always assume our villian will c-bet when checked to with any hand because it's such a dry board that we're unlikely to connect with and would not call a bet with. Therefore, I would have gone with the check-raise. That's because we're getting an extra bit of money out of AK, AQ and all the other non-pair holdings in their range, and like I said with the pre-flop action, if we get a re-raise we can be fairly certain that the villain has an overpair.
If you had done either of those 2 things, you would pretty much know exactly where you are in the hand. Instead, you've been too passive, not gained enough information and put yourself in a tough spot. If I had to stick my neck out and answer your question, i'd probably say fold because you will rarely see someone c-bet the turn with air in a satellite on such a dry board. But like I say, we could have folded much earlier in the hand and with a lot less doubt if we asked a couple of questions.
1/2 - 3/4 bet on flop, if he comes over the top you are prob behind and can muck. I assume stacks are quite small at 15/30 level so the checkraise is commiting too many chips to be able to get away from the hand if he 4bet shoves.
Assuming villain is not some crazy donk who Ive seen 3 barrelling AK on low boards in the past, then, as played, I would fold.
