I thought AK at first, and it's possible but there are only 2 aces out there and I think he might play QQ like this. He wouldn't push back to your minraise because he probably knows that you know he has a big hand to raise UTG like that and would only reminraise (I hate minraises like this too, but they might be good precisely because of that) with a premium holding like AA or KK or AK yourself. When he flops a set and sees a king, he could put you on AA in which case I love pushing allin. It looks just like AK trying to protect against the flush and would be very hard to get away from if your opponent held AA. It's like Brunson says, leading into the raiser in these sorts of situations is one of the strongest moves in poker. However, maybe all his chips is a bit extreme, and half of them would be just as good to get all your chips in the middle. Do you have any reads on this guy? What's your table image? If you've been making a lot of these minraises and being very aggressive, and he's a good player and he knows you know that, he might just have AK. I'm curious about how it turned out.
