Default $16 PS AJ in BB facing min raise

How do most play this one? No reads. Did I take the right line?

Poker Stars
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t100/t200
5 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: t5328
CO: t2442
Button: t3375
SB: t980
hero: t1375

Pre-flop: (5 players) hero is BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">UTG raises to t400</font>, 3 folds, hero calls t200 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t700)</font>.

Flop: T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (t900, 2 players)
hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">UTG bets t400</font>, hero folds.
Uncalled bets: t400 returned to UTG.

Results:
Final pot: t900

call is bad unless you're gonna stop/go. i might fold this actually. go back and look how utg picked up his chips - were they in big pots where he got it in with the best of it, or did he suckout on a few people? sometimes i like to check the hh's real quick before i decide on the best course of action. also, you should be noticing which players at the table are min-raising and what their min-raise means - if he's min-raising weak it's a push. all stuff i try and keep track of when i've gotta make a decision like this.

Without any reads I push preflop. With reads I can fold. But I never call here.

Push preflop. Most villain raise anything vaguely pretty with this stack.

Or yes, stop + go.
