Default Bubble play - TT against a min-raise

This happened to me in one of yesterday's $30 torneys. 72 players left, 70th gets paid a measly $54. I'm aiming for a top spot and really don't care about the $54 much. My stack is at 6400 (blinds 300/600) and avg stack is ~7500. Folded around to CO (decent player w/ about T15000) who min raises to 1200. I push w/ TT. How do you interpret his min raise?

Given that you posted this, I put him on AA-JJ, or AK-AQ that won the subsequent coinflip. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

But anyway, you gotta push here, because he may figure that he can steal with a minraise, and if he's a decent player his range is worlds wider than the one above. Of course, if he's a decent player he probably doesn't minraise, but whatever.

If he's been min-raising alot, it doesn't mean anything. If he hasn't it means one of two things:

1. He's got a monster
2 He's trying to steal for cheap

That said, I'm pushing here. I generally consider min raises to mean weakness and TT is by far the best hand here on a very regular basis.

I usually push with TT in this spot. Because even if you think he has a really good hand, what's the move? Fold? Don't think so. And by calling you're just giving up too much. Don't be afraid and push here.
