$6.50 NL HE STT Turbo: short stack, hit TP/bad kicker, get check min-raised

This was a weird spot for me. I wasn't paying much attention to this table as I was multi-tabling fairly intensely. I must have done some speculative plays because the last 3 players snapped called me with K3/A6/Q9. I push lightly when I have a low M so I presume I must have been caught. Anyway because of this I didn't want to raise preflop with J2s.

I've been told that a min check-raise is basically always a very good hand and one should fold basically every time if it happens. Because of this I was tempted to fold but the great odds compelled me to call to evaluate the turn.
