Move I made.... You like?
 

I am in the money of a 10+1 tourny at UB. I have 27k in chips with ~25 players left. The blinds are at 600/1200 with a100. I have junk and am in the BB, something like 10,6o. UTG a stack very similar to mine min raises. He had min raises several times, one time showing down KJo. We are 8 handed at the time. It's folded to me and I push. Thoughts?

Dont like it- you have plenty of chips to fold- whats the point in risking them with T6?

I think you are VERY likely to be shown a hand here that crushes you. The best you can hope for is 2 overs giving you live cards. Fold this trash. If you want to make a move on an UTG raiser, do it with a suited connector, at least then you have some hope of improving.

Dont push 20 BB stacks into UTG raisers.

The key is that villain is UTG. Very, very rarely will an UTG min-raise be with cards he's not willing to call your all-in with.

If I'm villain, I've got at least AQo, and your push looks like a small pair to me, so I probably call.
