Default Did I make the right fold with top pair early in a Stars turbo?

Not a lot of reads, but I'm sitting with top pair and a decent kicker. Please let me know how my play was at all streets, and if my fold decision was a good one. Thanks.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (9 handed) internettexasholdem.com

CO (t1295)
Button (t660)
SB (t1525)
BB (t1110)
UTG (t1270)
Hero (t1340)
MP1 (t1465)
MP2 (t3300)
MP3 (t1535)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t100</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 calls t100, MP3 calls t100, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, BB calls t50.

Flop: (t425) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets t250</font>, Hero calls t250, MP2 folds, MP3 calls t250.

Raise atleast 3x BB PF.. min raising is such a bad play.
Raise him on the Flop.. to find out where your at.

I think the biggest mistake you made in this hand was PF.. you gave BB odds to call with almost anything.

Raise more PF - AJo isn't exactly the dream hand for a multiway pot.

As played, eh, I'm guessing this is a very low buy-in MTT from the play...I'd probably just shove the flop. For value, not to 'find out where you're at'. You can't fold after raising the flop.

As played, I'd grit my teeth and call. You're getting over 2 to 1, and I'd expect enough weaker aces/bluffs to be in his range to make it profitable.
