Either play is fine here IMO, it's harder to pull this bluff needing two people to fold. In a tournament you can't just stop making plays in position to pick up chips though. You can always wait until you hit a flop, play a cbet and then shove if he raises you less than all in. HJ's all in check raise at this level could still be a hand.

With no read on the villain fold pf - your hand's dominated by TT+/AJ+. Further, you can be pushed off your hand by someone 3-betting behind you.As played I do the same, folding to a turn reraise, river bet, and checking behind on most rivers if he calls our turn raise.

Three handed, typically I'd fire at the flop here. Make them pay to see the turn, or force someone with a better hand to show it with a c/r or a later raise.Usually, however, betting the flop either takes the pot now or on a later street if you fire again.
