Villian is 44/11/1.5 over about 50 hands. Haven't paid attention to him much.

For some reason I just cant figure out what I should've done. The first thing I thought when he min-raised was "2pair/set"... But this is $10 NL on a saturday and people way overplay a pair of aces... But they also min-raise the shit out of strong made hands.

What's a +EV move here? Folding just seems weak to me (though maybe the right move) and I was pretty sure he'd bet the turn if I called on the flop and then checked to him (protecting against the flush draw).. No real chance of a cheap showdown I dont think (but maybe I should try for it anyways?).. The only other option is push, which would be risking like 80 bbs.. plus I have no heart. I would feel better about pushing if I had at least a heart for some chance to suck out. Joecherrito is still left to act too...not that it matters too much.

If this was a larger raise (say 2-3x my raise) instead of a min-raise, would you push over it?

I think from now on I'm just going to give it to them unless I have a good re-draw possibility + some folding equity or I'm getting odds to call because of the min-raise... Or I have a read that they will min-raise with tpwk or a bluff (which is very rarely ever the case).

I dunno I suck at situations like this. And it frustrates me. Fuck you min-raise.

 He might be minraising a flushdraw, in which case he'll take a free card on the turn if you call and check..

How often would players at this limit with those stats do this? Especially when it looks kind of obvious that I probably have an ace due to my 5x utg pfr and pretty strong flop bet vs 2 opponents. I dont think I've ever seen one of these players raise for a free card. I think FD just calls with bad odds.
