3/6 NL eff. stacks 800

I raise to 24 in MP w/ QQ, CO cold calls, HU to the flop.
Kd Qd 8c

I bet 50 and am minraised. Push now? Villain could have anything here, it's his first hand at the table.

The way I see it is if he has KK you are dead and going to lose your stack so I wouldn't worry about it. You would like to have your opponent make as big of mistake as possible. What hands does he mini raise with? After all, he is not trying to push you out he is trying to create a pot; AK, KQ, 2 diamonds, AA, 88, QQ, 10Jd. I would want a raise that makes drawing inorrect but will not scare off other hands. 2 - 1 is going to be not quite enough even for 10Jd, $300 raise gives him 2 - 1, I agree with the previous poster.
