Assuming the the minraise is common, I am thinking push.

If he has not been raising a higher amount normally and just minraised out of nowhere, this screams I want action and I fold.

As it was already stated - your reaction should depend on how everyone has been betting up to this point, and how active you feel the other two players, yet to act, may be.

Since you are in the chip lead - I would probably call here, but I would be leary of either of the short stacks, because if they decide to call, they will probably go all in.

If a bet of 2x the BB is totally out of the ordinary for this player, I would probably fold.

I know it can be hard to get a good read on playing styles during a 1-table tournament (esspecially online), but usually you can find that most people have a certain range they like to raise -- when they vary from that range is usually when they are trying to steal the blinds and/or pot, or they got a monster. The hard part is obviously trying to determine which is which.

Hope this helps - this is my first post and I am far from a master (probably still far from an amature /images/graemlins/grin.gif) but I enjoy the game.

Reads would be nice. Barring no reads, I fold.
