good call bad call?
 

A lil bit over the 2nd hour in Party's $30+3 NL tourney.

Blinds are 200/400. No antes

I have a chip stack of 9180. Average person has a stack of 7,200 or so.

I am dealth AQo in the SB.
UTG (whom I have no read on) with 11,200 chips does a min raise to 800. Everyone folds to me.
Since I am out of position, I decide to re-raise in the SB giving him a chance to fold.

I re-raise his 800 bet to 1800, he just calls the 1,000.

Flop comes Ad 5s 9d

The pot at that point was 4,000. On the flop, I mean to bet out 1,500 but my keyboard gets messed up and I actually end up betting out 400, the min bet. He immediately raises to 5,100. So I am playing for all my chips if I don't fold.

So, what do you guys think? Anyone able to fold this?

Yuck! Hate these situations. When I call here, I'm usually going broke. They either show me a set or better kicker (in this case AK). When I double up, it's usually a big PP praying the A didn't help me.
I would fold this (but I wouldn't feel good about it). You still have a solid stack - move on and find a better spot.

Pepsquad,
Interesting point. Okay, so after I re-raise to 1800 and then accidently bet out 400 on the flop, I will have about 7,000 chips left. Blinds would be going up to 300/600 in the next 2 min or so. Would you consider 7,000 chips to be decent at 300/600? Also, say that I bet the intended 1,500 and got raised all-in. This would leave me with 5,900 chips, would you still consider folding?

Horrible position to be in. A small raise UTG is allways a bit suspect particularly followed by a massive raise on the flop but unless your opponent has read your accidental bet as weakness and moved in with pocket Kings I think you are behind here. 5900 is not a great position at 300/600 but it is better than being out of the tournament and far from being hopeless. Fold.
