Default 3.40 QQ in small blind one limper

This is the very beginning of the tournament. first 5 minutes, so i dont know anything about these players yet.
Im not sure if i played this well, or if i needed to check the flop, or bet more...

I am leading out here too and I think your bet size is fine. I think we should be calling his min raise. Villain can min raise with any pair, including a lot of pockets. He does not have to have a K here (I think a lot of players at the level would slowplay if they did have a K). On turn I am probably c/c too. No use shoving b/c we only get called by hands that beat us I think.

I call the min-raise. I was butchered for a long time because I didn't realize that a ton of players min-raise paired flops as a matter of course. I would call and reevaluate on the turn. I would continue on the turn to a small bet, and would be very tempted to call a push.

my bad Draidin.

I was playign a turbo, and if the blinds were 15/30 it was the second blind level, so minutes 5-10, the point i was trying to express was that it was very early and I didnt have a read on the player yet.
Thank you very much for the advice Vers, WDC, and Sippin
