Hi all. Do you think in this spot its better to min-raise or go directly all-in with 10bb? My idea here was to bet 2bb and to call an all-in hoping to get raised by a worse hand. Cheers!

Poker Stars $0.44+$0.06 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t75/t150 Blinds - 5 players

BB: t2076 13.84 BBs
Hero (UTG): t1500 10 BBs
CO: t3010 20.07 BBs
BTN: t1775 11.83 BBs
SB: t5139 34.26 BBs

Pre Flop: (t225) Hero is UTG with J♣ J♠
Hero raises to t300, 2 folds, SB raises to t2250, 1 fold, Hero calls t1200 all in

Flop: (t3150) 3♠ T♠ 5♥ (2 players - 1 is all in)

Turn: (t3150) K♣ (2 players - 1 is all in)

River: (t3150) 2♥ (2 players - 1 is all in)

I would always shove with a 13bb stack or less without antes in play with my entire range. Especially in a 50c STT where people likes to call often a small raise.

The real question is, why did you "hope you would get raised by worse hands"?
What hands would push against a UTG minraise from a short stack, but fold to a 10bb shove?

You should have a solid read here to minraise. If there are several players behind who are call happy, or if the blinds will defend wide it would be disastrous for our hand. No need to play fancy with this stack. I mean, it looks so ridiculously strong... You are leaving yourself with an option where it is you that makes the error (and not our opponents). Just stick to ABC poker, don't get too fancy. This is where the +$ +ROI comes from at the micros.
