Ok, I've said before my weak spot is overplaying overpairs and TPTK so I want to know if this is a terrible play or just a marginal one. I was a bit anxious to mix it up as I had been on vacation for a while and was jonesing to play a big pot so I think I may have been overanxious but after thinking about it I thought that there may have been some logic behind my move.

I thought about his flop raise and thought it he wouyld make that move with AK for sure and maybe KQ (but unlikely here). I didn't think I could lay it down for the miniraise so my options were to call and see what the turn brings but I know I would have to face a big bet on turn and unless a really scary card came I would be in tough spot deciding whehter my cards were good or not. I would have 1/3 of my stack in with an overpair and not many cards would really be too scary on the turn (short of a K). So if I called the mini raise I would probably be committed to call a big bet on turn and go all the way. I also couldn't really make a small reraise on the flop without being pot committed so that wasn't a strong option. So I figured it was a push or fold situation and I just thought it was too likely he had AK to fold here so I pushed. Terrible? Marginal? What do you guys think?
