at my site, 40 buyins is the minimum amount so we can safely say this guy is here to play some short stack poker. shortstacks will go to the felt w/ 2nd pair. against a shortstack TPGK goes way up in value.
PF: raise if you're going to play the pot. don't limp KJ out of position, it's too hard of a hand to play like that (as is witnessed by this hand). your limp and subsequent call of a minraise result in a multiway bloated pot, which make it even harder to play hands like KJ (somehow).
Flop: as played, it is good that you raised. the size of the raise is fine (.75 into .80).
Turn: here you have to consider your opponent's stack size compared to the size of the pot before you act. the pot size on the turn is $2.20 and he has about $3 behind. if he has even 2nd pair weak kicker here he's probably going to go all in looking to double up. if you push him all in he will probably only call with a slightly better range than 2nd pair. a bet like $1 should be made if you think he'll push w/ a slightly worse range of hands (like what he's probably doing now).
the only thing really to worry about is the PF minraise. if he's calling PF A LOT more than raising and all of a sudden you see a minraise like this (after two limps, no less) that could give you probable cause to put him on a premium hand.
raise or fold preflop and you won't have to make this tough decision. as played, i probably call his push.

Correct Fold against a fishy calling station?
