7 players post ante of 0.1 BB, SB posts SB 0.5 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 2.2 BB) Hero has 5

fold, fold, fold, fold, BTN raises to 2 BB, fold, Hero calls 1 BB

Flop: (5.2 BB, 2 players) Q

Hero checks, BTN bets 2 BB, Hero?

Any thoughts?
I know it should be fold pre most of the time, but I decided to defend wide on the BB against min raises.

Stack sizes make this awkward, if you were deep I would go for a x/r with the weak pair+baby FD. I suppose it depends on whether you're fine getting it in here or not. I think I would be given how wide his range is - he's not likely holding anything big. So I think I would just x/shove here.

In todays game flatting this hand vs a button min-raise is pretty standard isn't it? Your putting in 1 BB to win 5.2 BB's so you only need to win a little over 20% of the time to justify a call. Even without any reads on the villain I would assume he is going to min raise at the very least about 30% of starting hands and if my flopzilla calc's are correct, 52s has plenty of equity against that range to justify flatting. One of the reasons why I hate min-raising preflop.

Given the stack sizes I think I would also just x/shove this flop and put him to the test. He still has 16BB's left after his flop raise so you still have some fold equity.
