I really struggle in these spots because its so hard to fold the flop when he min raises but then I find myself wanting to fold almost every turn, yeah 89 and 1010 do get there i suppose.
Would you have called a smaller bet ott?

Probably just folding otf vs this guy, especially if we intend to fold this turn.

i like your preflop raise size, the flop bet could be a little bigger around 12.

minraises are usually very nutted hands. he doesnt seem very agressive over these 34 hands so a fold on the flop would not be that bad (again: im scared of minraises).

calling him on the flop means he will barrel the turn again which means he is AI or commited

If he bet smaller, maybe half to 1/3 pot i would probably be calling one more time. As he could have 88-99 going for thin value.

Its not a nice situation to be in, but you really gotta either be 3betting or folding the flop. The min raise sort of suggests hes hit his set, but a 3bet here would find out. I do like the big raise preflop tho to scare away all the limpers/take down a nice pot.

And don't 3bet the flop to find out where you are at.

I think the hand was played fine
