TT as overpair and gutshot facing lots of action on flop - what would you do?

Does anyone raise to isolate preflop here? My intention here was to limp behind hoping to hit a big hand and stack someone. When this flop comes I'm not entirely sure what to do. I raise the first bet to get value from 9x and flush draw hands. When the SB flats I think he has a two pair hand or a flush draw, but then the initial better shoves and I'm a bit lost. I feel like it's not worth risking the chips here on a very draw heavy board vs possibly two players. 7th hand at this table so no reads. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the interesting hand. I am also usually set mining here. You are going to be facing overcards on so many flops, and when you raise isolate here you are pretty much obligated to fire on the flop, which will sometimes lead to an awkward spot. When I don't hit my set, I generally like to proceed with caution, so I think I call rather than raise the flop donk bet by bb. Your hand is very strong, but I like to pot control here. Having said that, I think, as played, you are beating a lot of hands that overshove there. I don't love it , but I call here, and I think I am good most of the time (ie value from 9x and the flush draws). I think sb folds most of the time. Especially in a $10 tourney, I think folding would be a bit tight here. Even if you lose, you are going to have a decent stack with plenty of time to build it back up. marty

i think flatting is the best play on this flop, there are so many hands that you beat (draws etc) and so many hands that crush you that both play this way, so it puts you in a super tough spot.

i would flat and re-evaluate the flop.

i also like raising this preflop as well, i think TT are good enough to raise for value
