I dont like the raise preflop.
A10 is a pretty strong hand but it is not going to be a hand that you want to build a big pot out of position with. Plus the button is the one guy you don't want to mess with here, so just play it a little safer.
A10 plays pretty well postflop here if you just check and see the flop.
Also, if you do raise make it more like 650 pre so at least you get some more folds.

is this a MTT? This looks like it belongs in the MTT forum at first glance so I'll move it there.

I'd check preflop and donk the flop most likely; what is your goal in calling the flop minraise and/or leading the turn for 1/5th pot?

Yes MTT... well stmtt ... is that how they're called?
to be more "precise" it's a satellite to a 215$ BI Wcoop.
I thought these type of satellite were always posted here, sorry if it's in the wrong place.

Back on the hand,
4 handed, so I'd put him on a pretty wide range especially with the call preflop, I have A10 which I see as a pretty strong hand in that situation and want to win it right there.

But now you ask the question... I have no idea why I called the min-raise on the flop... that was pretty bad... on the turn well I though he would have KQ, K10, KJ or something like J10 that's why I pushed and I really hoped he would call (which he did).

But I see my mistake on the flop... this is a fold.
