Default Trying out a min raise

Button is a bit weak tight at 20/12/2
BB is a mediocre TAG at 24/15/3 who likes to call with suited connectors.

How gross is this flop line? I can see him donking the flop with a set, FD, or KJs/QJs. It seems like a cheap way to charge a draw and it's easy to get away from if he 3 bets. On the turn I didn't want to get c/r so I check through. Not sure if this is the best line.

No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $1/$2
5 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $242.80
Hero: $200
Button: $188.05
SB: $237.65
BB: $348.60

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $8</font>, Button calls, SB folds, BB calls.

Flop: J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($25, 3 players)
<font color="#cc0000">BB bets $17</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $34</font>, Button folds, BB calls.

Turn: 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($93, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks.

River: Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($93, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks.

Results:
Final pot: $93

I like it, I'm tempted to v-bet that river though.

You're letting him draw to the flush sooooo cheap.

Either call and jam the turn, or make a real raise. Checking through the turn is bad.

The reason I tried a minraise is because I don't want him to fold/3 bet a draw on the flop.

I would definitely bet the turn fairly strongly and then check behind on the river - if he check-raises you on the turn after you minraised the flop you can be pretty sure your hand's no good against the majority of Villians. As played I would value-bet that river almost 100% unless Villian is particularly tricky. Don't really use minraises that much but it's more that I don't know how than that they're always useless.

*edit* - Checking behind on the turn kind of defeats the purpose of minraising the flop to charge a draw.

I think I'd rather call the flop and pot the turn tbh.
