Raise more PF. If you are raising on the flop, raise more than the min.

1. Don't post results, it tends to skew the perception of how you played the hand
2. I'd raise a bit more preflop, 0.40 or 0.50
3. Didn't like the flop check/raise, just lead out for 3/4 - full pot
4. If you're going to bet the turn I'd probably bet more, 1/2 - 3/4 of the pot. You could've checked here since there aren't many worse hands that will call you (basically QK, QJ and JK).
5. Reload preflop, I know you're a new player and you'll be a losing player for a bit, but if you always play short-stacked, you won't ever learn how to play the turn/river.

If you wanna be hard to read preflop, when you are raising in position, a good rule of thumb is raise 4xBB+1BB per limper, so this would be .50c, that should help you isolate and get some money into the pot.
Your flop check/min-raise is horrible. It's very "novicey" and it's something you're going to have to work on, when you make a bet on the flop, you shoul decide what % of the pot you want to bet. In this case, since you've got TPTK you should bet 2/3rds or even a pot-sized bet. Top pair-top kick is not a good enough hand to check-raise, especially since you raised preflop. Consider check-raising if you hit a monster hand after you cold-call preflop and the preflop raiser is still to act behind you.
The turn gives you the nut-flush draw. Due to your stack, go all-in here.
There is a 0% chance of being able to fold this.
Assuming you did have a real chip-stack, another 2/3rd pot bet seems good for the turn. On the river if you miss your flush, you should probably hope to check it down. If your opponent makes a significant bet on the river (assuming you still have a lot of chips) this is when you might be able to fold this hand.

I think you guys are overanalyzing this hand... everything looks 100% standard to me.

I hate the mini c/r .
But with the size of his stack I pay him here pretty much every time.

you min c/r the flop when you were the preflop raiser?

Not usually, but I think this hand would have played out the same regardless given stacks.
