I was wondering what people thought of how I played this hand. This is a 20+2 on stars.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (9 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

MP3 (t737)
CO (t1840)
Button (t2635)
Hero (t1565)
BB (t3885)
UTG (t1045)
UTG+1 (t1345)
MP1 (t1288)
MP2 (t2770)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/club.gif.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls t100, <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t300) T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, A/images/graemlins/spade.gif, Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets t300</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t1465</font>

I either raise here preflop to try to win the pot or go heads up with UTG+1 since you won't have position here after the flop. I lead out here on the flop as it is a very scary flop that could have hit your opponent and I want to know where I stand with my weak ace. After that I go on based on what he does but probably fold to a huge reraise. I really don't know what you are doing risking your whole tourney on a weak ace for unless you have a clear read on him. Has he bet the pot before with nothing just to try to steal it? Has he limped with monsters or does he check/fold to raises after limping? But im not that good, so I would love to hear what more experienced posters would do.
