Q&A #20: Playing an Overpair against a Check-Raise

eng4410 asks,
$10 SNG on Stars. Table has been playing tight overall, most hands 2-or-3 handed or folded around. No specific reads on the BB yet.
Is it too early to get stacked here with an overpair? How are you handling this situation most of the time?
