Default Re: A few tournaments hands, advice please?

This is one of the best flops that you could hope for (except something crazy and improbable like 2-pair or better). If you are not prepared to push this flop, you should not be in the hand.

Personally, I wouldn't have been in the hand. I prefer to steal with total garbage so I don't have to consider calling the preflop raise. Also, I'd rather maximize my chances that my cards are live if called - your Q may be dead. What I really disagree with in your line is where you claim that you wouldn't want people thinking that you would fold preflop to a miniraise. In this stage in the tourney, you are foolish to think that any believes that you have never stolen a pot. Second, you may get popped when you raise with a good hand and you can either set up a trap or push. Third, even if someone does miniraise thinking you are on a steal, the stacks happen to be deep enough to re-steal, though not by much.
