Default 50+5: Should I have pushed w/ATo vs a min raise?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (8 handed) converter

MP2 (t730)
HERO (t1150)
Button (t930)
SB (t1205)
BB (t1220)
UTG (t1145)
UTG+1 (t1645)
MP1 (t1975)

Preflop: HERO is CO with T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises to t200</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">HERO raises to t1150 (All-In)</font>,

No reads since I was multi-tabling.

My experience has been that min raisers are weak, and will fold to strength.

Should I have just called instead?

What would you have done?

With position on the raiser, I would want to see a flop. There's no hurry to go all-in. If my stack were bigger, I might reraise to try to drive out the players behind me, but I'm not prepared to stake everything on this hand.

JMHO. I'm interested to see what good players think.

I'd muck.

hm.. i see your point. even though it's a min raise, it's still a raise. and it's from early position. and this is a 50+5.

i have nothing invested in the pot, and i have 11BB so i'm nowhere close to desparate.

if he just limped, i would have limped. if he raised 2.5BB+, i would have folded.

i guess min raisers are a leak for me.

I think this is a fairly read dependant decision, if I noticed the person was doing a lot of min raising and was an overall poor player than I might push. I am kind of concerned by the fact that he min-raised in such an early position, I would be far more inclined to push from the SB with AT vs a min-raise from the CO when it is folded to him than in this position.

Did he have aces?

I'd muck too. But if he just limps, I'd either fold or push. WIth about 10BB and 8 people still left, I like pushing here sometimes. Do you play on stars?

I don't really like a call much because you won't have any idea where you are at after the flop and not a deep enough stack to try and figure it out.

With no read, I would fold here with less than AJs or maybe AQ, or 99+.
