According to the beluga principle check/min-raise is very often the nuts.
Any exception here?

PokerStars - $0.02 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero (CO): 102.5 BB
BTN: 49 BB
SB: 58 BB
BB: 39.5 BB
UTG: 154.5 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has Q♣ K♦

fold, Hero raises to 3 BB, BTN calls 3 BB, fold, BB calls 2 BB

Flop: (9.5 BB, 3 players) 8♦ K♣ 7♦
BB checks, Hero bets 5 BB, BTN calls 5 BB, fold

Turn: (19.5 BB, 2 players) 9♠
Hero bets 13 BB, BTN raises to 26 BB, fold,

Also vs a passive fish/calling station?

you could argue about that. still you make yourself very exploitable betting all the good stuff and folding to minraises.

i very much prefer the XC line w/o very reliable reads.

Against a loose passive fish I would play the hand the same. It could be expoitable indeed, but on NL2 I don't expect this would be to bad. Most villains on NL2 doesn't adapt to this.
