Default 77 on trick flop in satellite

I know this isn't a high stakes hand but I'm getting no replies in the regular forum and really need some input.

This is the first hand (obviously no reads) of a $24 satellite to the Hendon Mob Shootout Event #1 ($100+$9). There are 27 entrants, top 5 get tickets, 6-8 buy ins back. Anyway, thoughts on all streets are appreciated. Good chance I made the wrong decision here playing for stacks on the flop. I thought about flat calling the flop and reevaluating the turn but came to the conclusion that he is likely betting missed high cards and even if I call and am beat I have 8-10 outs (I was actually about 37% to win). How much should I factor in the fact that it is the first hand of a sattelite? I usually play to survive in satellites - very very tight early, double up if I run into a big hand, and tread water by being very aggressive late as the blinds go up. I feel like my game is way above average at this level and usually cash. Other problems: I had a really hard time interpreting his min raise and the flat call by the button.

Full Tilt Poker Game #3060976271: Sat to Hendon Mob S.O. #1 (23327040), Table 1 - 15/30 - No Limit Hold'em - 6:56:00 ET - 2007/07/26
The button is in seat #9
