This is why I haven't been placing in 1st:

This is why my first place finishes have gone to hell. I just got completely /pwned here. I was thinking where I went wrong here and I think it's obvious that I should have went all in preflop. That min-raise was extremely weak. I've played against this pickmaster guy and he seems pretty good and obviously he sensed weakness here.

Now since I messed up preflop, is it correct to lay this one down? I'm getting 1:76:1 pot odds here with 2 overs. Please voice your opinions.

You are correct, move allin preflop, makes poker a lot easier to play, especially when its clearly +EV to do so to begin with.

Depends on Villain. And yeah, you need to push preflop.
