tiny pocket pair in blind - trouble changing gears

[DeuceKicker]

I'm trying to transition from limit to NL tournies, and am having a problem with passivity.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t300 (5 handed)

Button has a small chip lead but has been bullying.

SB (t1170)
Hero (t1860)
UTG (t1905)
MP (t485)
Button (t2580)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG folds, MP folds, <font color="CC3333">Button raises to t600</font>, SB folds, Hero???

But the min raise is fairly new coming from him. Up to the hand before this he'd been going all-in. The only time he min-raised and showed down was with a small pocket pair.

So I'm thinking he's got something like 1) Jack-high and doesn't want to throw a lot of chips into a blind steal; 2) A small/mid pocket pair; 3) a monster. In two of these three cases I'm probably dominated, in the third I'm a very small favorite.

The problem is that unless I flop a set I keep saying, "Is this the hand I want to go out with?" The result is I keep getting blinded down so low that when I finally get dealt QQ (and congratulate myself for not panicking, and waiting for a premium hand) my stack is so low that everybody thinks it's a desperation raise and I get three callers (and the inevitable suck-out or overcard pairs up).

So in this case I'm thinking my options are to push in and risk finishing 5th, or fold and wait for two others to go out.
