I didn't want the original raiser to check and catch up to me. Any advice would be appreciated.

Should have done the same if I was in your position! So yes, you did the right thing in my eyes.

You won when things could have turned around for the other person.

Preflop ok. I would have checked raised after the flop.

I can see, this is your first post, so welcome to CC forum. For your information there is a sub-forum for hand reviews like this. Please post there next time

On to your hand. You started with a very short stack, and its somewhat close, what you want to do with a hand like T6s in that situation facing a min-raise from the big blind. What you did is called a stop-and-go play. You just called preflop and then essentially want all in on the flop, when you connected.

I think, thats a fine way to play the hand, but I would suggest to move all in on the flop rather than leave yourself a meaningless amount of chips behind. Just simply push and be done. If they both fold, thats a great result, and if someone calls, then you just rool the dice. Even if you are behind, you have lots of equity with top pair and a draw.

I agree with this alot, the only difference in my style of play is for me this would've been a check/shove -- we have way too much equity in this hand to fold when we are this shallow stacked. Leading wins us the pot outright alot, but player pool tendencies are to over cbet and so we make more money when we check raise these spots in general.

Perhaps it is the best move to make. You hit the top pair and since you are the first to act, you bet not to give other players a free card.
And even if one of them has an over pair and calls the bet your hand has approximately a 50% chance of winning.

From the position, you have played well.
I personally would have paid a flop raise because I have a flush draw. I would go all in on turn.
