Won hand but did I play it correctly?
APT live tourney hand
Effective stacks $3,064
Blinds 100-200
Hero min-raise opens to 400 with 7s7h from hijack
Button, SB, BB call
Pot 1750
Flop 6s 4c 3d
Bb leads pot sized bet 1750
Action to hero
After some tanking, hero jams 2664
Button , SB fold
Bb hesitates and calls off, shows 4s 3c
Turn 6d River As
Hero scoops pot 7078
Thoughts as played?
Should hero have open jammed with 15+ bigs?
Reads: no individual reads
Donk leads are often TPTk, bluffs ( u dont have any of that flop) over pair 88 99 TT
DISCOUNT premiums since no 3bet
Villan could have a 5
Didnt think villan had str8 cuz who leads with nuts? I block 7,5
Could have 1 of 3 possible sets
Knew i had little to no fold equity against villan. Jammed to get heads up thus increasing my equity.
HA! Never considered folding.)
Board paired
Hero wins with better 2 pr
Went on to win tourney

Where were you in the tournament? Any ICM implications to consider?
Middle stage i.e. not itm.

Pre-flop: I am not a fan of the min raise pretty much ever and definitely not in this spot with a mid pair. At 15BB I think its a fine jam. I guess you could raise your premiums to 2.5x with the intention of shoving over a 3-bet but you are pretty much out of poker at this depth and into push/fold territory.
Post flop: While a very weak player could donk TP, on a dynamic flop like this one, a strong lead into the field is usually at least 2 pair. I guess some 5x combos might lead, like 5/6s, but I'd personally check-raise with those hands. Still, with an overpair and these effective stacks, I don't think there is much to do other than go with it.
No one has ever won a tournament without running well at some point. You doubled at a crucial time and took the whole thing down. Congrats on the win.
Yes, at 15BB and a hand that will always be starting at overcards on the flop, this is a pre-flop jam. I dont think you are trying to induce a 3-bet here and if AK shows up, he is going to call anyways.
