It's still relatively early in this sit and go. Limping with this hand UTG is questionable, but it seemed like the good hand to battle with the BB in case he pushed all in. How should this one be played?

Fold preflop.

I'd raise the flop a bit more or just call, probably call.

I'd shove turn if I raised or check behind for the free card.

Terrible bluff on the end.

Fold initially PF. This hand is useless and you're OOP.

Call the flop, you're getting great odds. Why are you miniraising? I HATE MINIRAISERS!

Check behind on the turn. Get the free card.

Fold PF, either raise to 500-600 on the flop or just call,
river bluff is pointless
