Default ($5.50) QQ VS. Min-Raise and Call

650 Players Started the tourney. About 70 Away from the money. I'm about top 50 or 60. The UTG seems to be on the loose-passive side I once raised with A8s and UTG called then a guy behind him pushed. I folded and UTG+1 called and flipped up KJs. The CO is nothing spectacular as far as I can tell.


PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (8 handed) converter

MP1 (t2209)
MP2 (t7402)
CO (t9456)
Button (t4815)
SB (t2313)
Hero (t5649)
UTG (t9187)
UTG+1 (t12007)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises to t400</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, CO calls t400, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t1500</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises to t2600</font>, CO calls t2200, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t5624</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises to t14182</font>, CO calls t6831 (All-In).

Final Pot: t29387
<font color="#009B00">Main Pot: t16997 (t16997), between CO, Hero and UTG+1.</font>
<font color="#009B00">Pot 2: t12390 (t12390), between Hero and UTG+1.</font>

Looking back at this hand I think should have put UTG+1 on at least a premium hand with that donk min-raise from EP. I'm thinking now the the right move here was to just call the min-raise and play the flop carefully. Was my above play fine or should I have played my queens more slowly?
