I've been trying to open up my game a bit.
Would anyone make this aggressive move or is too much in the early part of a tournament (let alone first hand, which happened)?

First hand. Small raise from MP, folds to me in the SB holding A T hearts.
I call and the flop is 9 J K (J and K are both hearts)
Holding the nut straight, nut flush and straight flush draws, i bet, get raised and then I move all in.

I get called by the MP player holding K 9. I miss out, bouncey out I go.

I think I made a good play but maybe it's a little TOO aggressive in early part of a tourney?

Any thoughts? comments?

There is no need to risk all your chips on the first hand of a tourney with nothing but a draw........ never, in no situation whatsoever in the history of the world (even in all the hypothetical wsop first hand senario threads) is there a reason the risk being bounced from a tourney on the first hand CHASING A DRAW.
