this guy min raised, is that a steal attempt or a monster wanting action? of course you've played the whole tourny with him so you have a read on him.
with the stack sizes as they are i play poker with him and look to get it heads up where we're basically even stack. so i disagree, I reraise and go from there.
It is most definitely not a race at best. An opponent in this situation can raise from the button 3 handed with a gargantuan range of holdings, going as far as maybe any 2 suited cards.

AQs is a monster hand 3 handed, and when playing to a minraise from the button suggesting a steal, it is one of the most standard pushes I can ever imagine.
