I got berated for this play. It could be kind of stupid but I had a stack, and could take 2 people out and have a great stack going into the bubble. Is calling 1/3 of my stack worth it?

MP2s min-raise seems pretty weak to me. BB's all-in could be desperation. Nothing really indicates this guys have top holdings.

I would definitely fold here. You may be, at least, the second best hand. I would save the chips and steal later in the round.

Easy preflop fold.

do you even call the min-raise? or re-pop that?

I think the call was fine. I just would of folded after the reraise. I think of KQs just like AK. Great headsup, but terrible against two raisers.

I'd call the min-raise with a stack as deep as yours, sure.

However the re-raise screams strength and you NEED to get out of there. Your hand is dominated.
