Our villiain isn't full stacked and just min raised open so he is probably a fish and hence has a wide opening range. I'd expect him to be calling with a large portion of that range which we are ahead of so there is definitely tons of value in raising pre. I think calling here is a huge mistake here because this type of spot is exactly where the money is at this stake: playing in position, likely against a fish, with a hand that will make strong pairs a good % of the time.
On flop our villain's range consists of air, flush draws, and pairs. Although calling is probably good against the complete air portion of his range, we need to focus on getting value from the other parts because that's where the money is. If our villain has a flush draw a Q or a 9 he will likely call a raise. Against these hands we stand to win a large pot, and calling almost guarantees us that we will not.
When SPR is high, any time we choose to not bet or raise, we are severely limiting the large pot potential of our hand. If you call this hand pre and proceed to bet pot and get called on every street, you will still only walk away with roughly half his stack.
In short i think your mistake in this hand is that you were attempting to get value both pre and on the flop from the villains entire range instead of focusing on how to get the most value from the portion of his range that will actually pay you off.
then again im bad poker
