I am shoving this every time. At a $11 tourney you will get called by a whole lot of crap that you beat, flush/straight draws, worse Ks, TT, AJ, the list goes on. I pay off a flopped set or 2 pair every time here.

Plus from my experience a flop minraise is very often a bluff at least as often as a monster.

Push it. you are ahead more then you are behind.

BTW I sometime use this exact same move when I think villian is C-Betting. Most of the time villian either folds his c-bet, or calls and check-folds the turn if he misses
