I think maybe I was being a bit paranoid here, but I was worried about him catching the nut flush. Do you think this turn bet was overly aggressive?

Actually, after thinking about it for a minute, I think I could've inferred that he probably didn't have the ace of hearts. My thinking is that his minimum preflop reraise indicates he probably has a high pair, and so the only hand I'm concerned about losing to is A-A with the ace of hearts. But, the fact that he only called my flop raise seems to suggest that he isn't holding this hand, since if he were I could expect him to make some sort of a reraise, probably all-in. I think the fact that he only called indicates he either has A-A without the ace of hearts, or another high pair, probably Q-Q since I have a K and a J in my hand. What do you guys think?

Seems Ok. Even though it doesn't seem like he has AA with a heart, he could have AQ/AK/AJ/Ax with the A of hearts. I'm not sure why you think the min-raise means a big pair. Had he done it before, or is it something you see alot at 6max? I don't play much 6max so I don't know.

I hadn't really paid particular attention to this guy, it's just a tendency I've noticed from fishy players in general. They reraise the minimum preflop with big pairs to "build the pot" and not scare anyone away since they think they have an unbeatable hand. He doesn't have to have a big pair of course, I just think it's the most likely hand for him to have.
