Don't minraise PF from the SB. Push it if you're going to play. Make a real bet on the flop. What exactly are you hoping to accomplish here?

first, either fold or raise more preflop, mini raise = the suck

second, bet bigger on the flop if you're going to bet at all

So a push before the flop would be a good play?

I dont like a push after that flop, so should I not bet at all instead of the min bet?

thanks

Ditto that. With that stack, if I find myself even thinking about calling I'm going all in.

Why the minraise preflop? I would prefer to either fold, limp or make a reasonable raise(say 2.5-3x bb). Given that your chipstack is low (play tighter early!) and the blinds total about 1/8th your stack - I would push preflop. (ESPECIALLY if the blinds are increasing any time soon)

I would push preflop because it's a blind stealing situation with a reasonable hand. Min raises etc are meant to be for good hands, K-10 isn't one..

Stop min-raising. Immediately.

You have 10xBB in a prime stealing position. Just push preflop. Note, this can be done with much worse than KTo.
