how the hand should have gone

besides folding preflop

SB checks, UTG bets 0.2, Hero raises to 1, SB raises to 2, Hero raises all in

quit with the tiny raises.

Why is your 5-bet so small? Make it like $3.50 and this is probably easier to play, or at least easier to stack off with.

As played, I'd fold. Top two probably isn't good when it's over 120BB back to you.

Min-raises probably have a place and I am actually contemplating using them sometimes, but this is not the place against an unknown. If you are going to 5-bet you might as well shove, not shoving only makes your hand look stronger.

Folding pf?

What happened to CO + suited cards = raise?

And we need results here. Villain probably had a hand (AJ or something) that would stack off here regardless of the line you took.

I'm ok with PF, but you need to make your flop raises worth something.

SB looks like they have a set here or KQ.

there may be reasons to minraise. But most people who do it are just making poor plays.

PF raised on the btn with suited conector is standard. But I was almost 3bet him on flop, then he minraised me. Any thought about his ranges? Call is better than minraise?

I don't mind raising JTs preflop from UTG+1 in a 5 handed game.

Don't minraise though, make a proper raise on the flop.
