I'm no tourney expert, but I don't think minraising with QQ is a smart idea. Someone with Ax in the blind won't move in on you preflop but will have a hard time laying it down if he hits top pair or trips up his x. It just makes your QQ harder to play postflop because it opens up villain's range quite a bit.

You have to consider the stack sizes of the blinds though. In this case, the BB is short stacked, and certainly may push with any Ace, especially if it looks like a steal play from the button. You're not too concerned about the BB calling, then pushing on the flop, because you're going to be fairly committed to calling him anyway.

The only problem, is if the big stack in the SB flat calls and decided to see a flop. Then, your decision will be a bit more difficult.

Well the QQ will be very easy to play against the BB who has only 7000 chips left. Also I think neutron is relatively tight, thus I would rarely expect a flat call, but I could be wrong about that.
