Why the minraise preflop?
Bet that flop for vaule as Switch says.

dont like the min raise, if ur gonna slow play i like limping the a big reraise. or make a standard raise. i think u should have bet more on flop, u could fold turn a lot of hands beat u. i dont like betting small pre and flop then making huge bets on later streets when the board isnt good for ur hand

There's really not much one can do when it comes down to heads up play. Basically any two cards will do. Normally, any two cards wouldn't do during the early, middle, late stages of a tournament. Unless, you're a donk. Bad luck just happened to you here. Yes, pocket Aces is the best starting hand pre-flop. Although, it's not how a race starts, but how it finishes. better luck next time.
