Hello everybody. I think this is my first post, but I've been lurking for something like 18 months now. Time to switch from passive learning to active learning!
My read on the original raiser was that min-raise meant min-hand. He could be bought. My read on the Villain was that he was weak-tight and that his call meant he had a medium hand as well and he was hoping to see a flop. I figured I have about 12k left and there's 8K in the pot. I also figure niether player has a big pair or strong Ace or I would've seen more action. That makes me about 2:1 at worst in my mind and I could be a favorite against many of these players' raising/calling hands here (KQ, KJs-JTs).Seems like a good time to make a move.
I'm hoping y'all can tell me if this is the right play or if I should've waited for a better spot. Next level was in 12 minutes or so.
Thanks in advance!
This hand came up with 22 (of 214) left. The top 4 are "in the money" with 4th getting $150 cash and 1st-3rd getting the $650 seats. I am shortstacked and have been for a while. I usually am.

Final Pot: t33860
Villain had 99 and I busted out 22nd.
I've run the numbers and they seem to tell me this was the right play and a good spot to almost triple up heading into the final two tables.
Thoughts?
