I had played tight the entire tourney, but more importantly I had advertized the nuts once when I didn't get a caller, and the two times I did get called, I had it. Pretty sure it was a bad push due to the fact he was fairly comitted.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (4 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Wow, blinds are very high to still be on the bubble. I think this could be a steal attempt but unless you have a strong read on the player then you should fold here. Question: is your stack size measured after posting the 400 blind? If so, then you can let it go much easier IMO. However, if this is your stack BEFORE posting the BB then I think you should lean closer to pushing if you think there is a reasonable chance &gt;40ish% that this is a steal.

I wouldn't put much in the fact that it was a min-raise, I mean, he has the chips to put you all in and still be able to finish ITM possibly. If this were me on the BTN here, I'd give it a 50-55% chance you're favored pre-flop but then again, I'd put you all in instead of mini-raising. I don't know though, it's a low-risk way for him to steal your blinds.
Depends on table texture.

That was my stack prior to the hand, which meant I had 1600 left if I let him steal.

It is so hard to give advice on hands like this. It all boils down to how likely you think your hand is the best one here.

With UTG about to be hit by blinds, I think I would fold this unless the raiser has been going after you pretty much every time.

I fold to the raise. He's getting almost 2.5 to 1 to call your all in so I don't see a lot of FE. KQ looks nice, but you're behind any ace and any pair. I'd fold and look for a better spot to risk my T1600.

Sam,

Button raised t800 (1 bet), I was in the big blind with KQ. I went all in, and he called. Turns out he had QQ and I lost, but that is irrelevant, not knowing what he had, I'm curious how other people feel about the move.

Was the min-raise ordinary from him or was it the first time he min-raised? If it was it usually means he wants you to push.

But again, hands like this have to be played from how you read this guy.
