up to you.
folding and calling are both good at the 11s.

I will normally fold but may call if I am tilting and not be concerned that it is a huge leak.

The problem with calling is that many of the times he doesn't have AA or KK, he will have AK and then you are still only a ~55% favorite.

At the 11s? I'd say a very tight range to put him on is TT+, AQ+, which you're 55/45 against. Given that there's money in the pot, that many players won't do this with hands that want calls, and that he could be on a much wider range, I think this is a call.

After thinking about it, I think you mostly have to lay this down even at the $11s. An UTG mini-raise to a re-raise all-in just smells too much like AA. Sure, could just be a fishy move, but doesn't seem like it.

I have been feeling tilty for about a week, so I called it, and of course he showed AA, which held up.

I probably call figuring he has AK, AQ, or JJ or even TT...minraise utg does not scream AA or KK to me.

How did the villian win his ~400 extra chips? If he has been showing a lot of loose aggressiveness, which I think could be the case here, you might want to call. If he is a LAG there's a strong chance he holds AQ or worse, and doubling up at this stage is valuable.

Wish you hadn't said the results so quickly. Now I wanna say "Well, considering that he miniraised." I still think given no reads this is a call.

My bad. I think the mini-raise is used quite a bit by AA holdings at the $11s, hoping that at least one guy raises you giving you the opportunity to push. I used to do it myself.
