In hindsight I think I must be insane. I remember I didn't want to risk my stack.

Why not risking your stack with TPTK? Your hand is probably the best on the flop, so I'd just donk bet like 500-600.

Hi Kruppe, this looks well played.

I would advise for beginners to fold this preflop, but playing like this, and then going for a check/raise on the flop with TPTK is definitely best.

Turn I would also go for a check/fold after a bet and a call. It's closer to call if there's only one opponent (eg MP bets 300, BU folds).

i hate doing this, because generally speaking, they only call with hands that are dominating you

this is definitely an instapush preflop for me. Not even contemplating folding or calling. miniraise from MP is so darn weak, and with a ~550 pot, the riskreward ratio is just awesome.
