well first off, tylerk didn't min raise. min raise would have been to 1200 and he raised to 1600. the question is, would he really go all-in on the flop when he is first to act if he had QQ for the set or QK, i doubt it. even AK, he would think he has the best hand and would probably lead out with a bet of 3000 or so which would be just under the pot size. an all-in bet he is clearly overbetting the pot which makes me think he could have AQ or something and is just hoping you would fold. now of course, he could have something like KJs with top pair and the flush draw. i'd say more times than not you will be ahead in this hand if you call on the flop. if you call and it holds up you have a great looking stack, if you lose, theres always next time. i'd say it also depends on the buyin of the tourney. the lower the buyin, the more often you will probably be ahead because with a QK flop people in higher buyins ill be more cautious of a flop like that that was reraised. gotta take your chances somewhere along the way in tourneys to build your stack and this seems like a good place to me.
