Look at this that way: In order for you to show that it is +EV, you'll have to list a range of hands, with which UTG will mini-raise, but *fold* to a push. You are big-stack, and you said you played very aggressively. He knows it too, of course, and you say he's weak-tight. Frankly, I can hardly think of any hand he'll *mini-raise* and fold. Give me a reasonable list, that is with accordance w/ all the information we have, so EV could be calculated, than we can talk.

Well this may be the crux of the disagreement. You think there are hardly any hands he'd do this with and I think there are hardly any he wouldn't. These guys were regularly trying to pick up the blinds with min-raises (to be fair, I didn't say that in my original post). But I can certainly see a tentative player minraising in this situation with almost any A or K, QJ, QT, mid or small pairs, etc., etc.
