You definitely have better than the correct odds to call the preflop raise so that's what you must do here.  Post flop, with a check-check in front and a flop what was unlikely to hit anyone, I think you should be throwing out a bet of at least 1/2 of the pot (closer to 3/4 is better because it gives all drawing hands the incorrect odds to call) because you may have the best hand but unless you bet for some info, you'll never know.  
 
There are a few ways the hand can go from here: 
1) Everyone folds: excellent result
 2) Button folds and one or both early checkers call: not a bad result because you now have position on the hand and your aggression may induce another check on the turn and a free card.
 3) Someone raises you: bad result, just fold.
 
If you do get callers and face a bet on the turn, you'll have to assume you're beat (at the moment), and use 
pot/implied odds to determine whether calling is correct.
I agree with Tazwander, this the building stage for this type of MTT and, unless you're able to build a monster 
stack, this is the stage where the stack to blinds ratio will probably be the highest giving you room to make 
these plays.
I'm a fairly new player (1 year or so) and may be way out in left field here, so I'd like to hear what the more 
experienced player think of this analysis.
