What do you think of the way I played the hand ?
I don't like min raises at all, I hardly ever min raise but I really did not wanted anyone to fold here. However, I still don't know if it were the "right" play or not.
Comments on all streets are welcome.
Thank you !

I usually lead for 3 on the turn.

How would you feel if this happens: You minraise the turn and gets called, and looses a lot when the third spade comes on the river, or when the table pairs on the river. You have the nuts now, but might not have it on the river. If you want to checkraise you need to raise more. Leading out on the turn is good to.
