i don't like the minraise preflop, but if thats your style from UTG, fine. do you minraise AA-JJ, Ak as well, or only certian hands?

then on the flop i think you gotta reraise a decent amount, as the board is a bit drawy, so there's a chance you can get in a lot of money here when you're almost certainly best. and there's a lot of cards that will be bad for you on the turn by either outdrawing you or killing the action... plus your OOP.

i guess the turn play is okay, but i don't think you should be in that type of spot too often.

Yeah the min-raise is pretty standard for me UTG with a bunch of hands including monsters. On the flop I didn't want to kill the action. I wasn't really worried about villian calling with a drawing hand pre-flop as AKs or AQs can't have a draw on this flop and he was pretty tight. My image was pretty tight as it was early and the only hand I'd shown down was AA.

What struck me about this hand is that as soon as I saw the flop the last "Hand with the Masters" popped into my head.
I credit that hand and the discussion that followed with keeping me in this tourney.
