I thought before the final raise. I could be up against genuine strength, but most likely, I'm either against a smaller pp and am in a coin flip or CO is playing sheriff with somthing like KQs and I was a 60-40 favorite. There is a possibility that CO had A9 or KT that I have dominated. I also knew there was a possibility that I was dominated. I made the call because I convinced myself that CO was playing the sheriff. I think what got me was the min-raise leaving CO with 87 chips left. I thought it was a tell that CO wasn't paying much attention and did a min-raise like a lot of donkeys do with semi-strong hands. Was this a reasonable assumption, or was I just being a donk? Also, if I was just being a donk, what hands do I need to continue playing the hand?

You have to fold the AT here because of your very recent aggression and stacks behind you that can only push.

What would have been the minimum hand to play on? (Trying to work on my endgame and this is definitely my biggest leak.)

EDIT: Duh, you meant fold instead of the initial raise.

You've just widened everyone's calling raise and adjusting to that is the leak.
