Default Aces in a tough spot - Mini Step 5

No read. Ignore the fact that I made it too little preflop.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (10 handed) converter

SB (t980)
BB (t1110)
UTG (t1000)
UTG+1 (t1000)
UTG+2 (t1000)
MP1 (t950)
Hero (t1000)
MP3 (t985)
CO (t970)
Button (t1005)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, UTG+2 calls t15, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t60</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, BB calls t45, UTG+2 calls t45.

Flop: (t190) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+2 bets t55</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t210</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to t365</font>, UTG+2 folds, Hero ???

Final Pot: t820

I don't think you made it too little preflop.

He could have a draw, an overpair, top pair, 2-pair or a set. If he flopped a straight, well, god bless him.

If he has 2 pair, you have a lot of outs, and two pair is kinda unlikely anyway.

I see money in the pot and more ways to win than lose. I push.

Are you a regular mini-step 5'er or did you win your way up? If you won your way up, how would you play this hand at a level you could afford to buyin directly?

I played my first mini-step last night and was amazed at some of the bad play. So I guess I'll be a weekend regular. I've played in 10 since last night.

In a smaller buy in (maybe 109 and lower) I would push without a second thought.

I'll be the voice of dissention, but I don't think folding is so terrible. It's really sick but sometimes it's really hard to imagine your hand is any good. For someone to check and then raise after it's bet and raised, they usually need a huge hand. This is also a $430 where there are some solid people who could be in the BB that basically are almost guaranteed to have AA beaten here. I'm not sure who the player is, that would help somewhat, but I definitely would fold this, especially against some opponents.
