Did I play this right? The c/min raise then leading the turn seemed strong, but he didn't have much of a stack.

these check/min-raises are hard dude. difficult to tell what they mean against unkowns. they either mean strength or weakness. my default is to fold, but because he is a short stack i figure he is a donk too so it's fine.

25 no limit, top pair top kicker less than 100 bbs deep is the nuts.

folding the turn is possible, but you played it ok. Hard to get away from TPTK for only 60bb.

Theres a million ways to play this correctly. I've checked the flop before (not really any draws out, and you'll win more money from weaker hands when u underrep). Turn is definitely push or fold, any hand that makes that bet other than a pure bluff is committed to calling a minraise all in.

Honestly, I'm having a hard time putting him on a hand that you beat by the time he makes that turn bet. I may fold. You are pretty much splitting or beat here.
