Stars $15 Turbo.
My stack is 1200, villain is in the SB with 1700. Blinds 50/100. I'm in MP1 with 66.
I raise to t300 (I don't like open limping under any circumstances, so leave that one alone.) Villain min-reraises...
Hero?
I can't see folding here - the min-raise says I'm either against a monster or a weak-tighty, and my read is that it's the latter.
I did not get the sense that he would lay this down if I pushed, so I decided to call and get my chips in on the flop unless it came AKQ suited, or something equally ugly. My thinking was that if he missed the flop and checked, I'd have folding equity. Anyone think pushing is the right play?
Flop K72 rainbow.
SB thinks for a bit and pushes.
Hero?
Results in white:

Thoughts? For some reason I found this a very hard hand to play.
