My options were Push ,check, or bet.

Really I want to take this pot now, but I have a lot of outs, so I dont mind someone tagging along.

I decide to bet 175 because the first limper only has 345 left, and I feel if he is going to play he is going to play. Push and bet are the same to him. I doubt he will cold call if he wants to play he will probably push his remaining chips. I like this because it looks a little more scary then a straight push to the button.

Instead... shortstack folds and button minraises me

175 to me HU I have 520 remaning now and there is 810 in the pot already. Cold calling is not an option imo. I can push or fold.
I decided to:
<font color="white"> push... I felt I still had some FE here, because button is in a great position to make a play on my continuation bet. What monster could he have flopped that he would have played that way preflop. AQ or AT, 99, maybe TT All of which at the very worst I still have outs against. He may fold...</font>

I push...I think you are behind but I push anyway. He could have a set but more likely he has top pair (one or both of your overcards might even be good) but you have enough outs to push. But at this level he might also be drawing at a straight or a lower flush. He is certainly going to call...if you win you are in great shape and if you lose...well there is another tourney getting ready to start.

what about all of my actions:

preflop - raise to 90
flop - bet 175(instead of pushing)
flop minraised back to me - pushed

pre-flop: fine

flop: i prolly just open push, that's just my style. take a nice pot early in the game and get a nice stack, if they want to call, i've got like a gazillion outs

flop: push to his mini-raise, if he's got a set, so be it, you still have plenty of outs, and you're pot committed anyway. like the other poster said, obviously he's calling your push, but the guy could have as little as tptk or whatever. sometimes all your money is destined to go in one way or another. i think that this is one of those times.

I don't think you could possibly be too aggressive with that flop, your cards, and the pot. If I can get it all in on the flop, superb. Here, I'm leading out for 250 and calling a push.

SS, I look at this situation precisely this way. You are either raising, or pushing here. If you determine you prefer the raise, then I'd definately raise enough that you can call a bet with correct odds (remainder of your stack) if you are reraised, or on the turn.

I do not like the check here, unless you intend to lay it down. But, your hand is very strong at this stage.

Edit: One last thought. I don't care for the min-raise, and on the $33s, a 60% pot sized bet reflects weakness. The min-raise here likely means you are currently behind atm. This is the reason why, in this situation, this is the reason why I like the overbet best. I'd very likely bet 400 here on the flop. (preflop is fine)

I'd be inclined to just call preflop because of your postflop position but you did raise the right amount preflop if you are raising, and your hand is pretty decent too. I'd play it like you on the flop.
