The thing about a minraise if he has position on you is this....If he minraises your bet on a draw and you only smooth call his draw and then go into check call mode he probably won't bet the turn if hes on the draw because he doesnt have to, he can see the river for free because he stole the action with a minraise. This was something i used to do years ago. They minraise hoping you will just call and then check the next street so they can check as well if they don't hit their hand.
But you can't automatically think hes doing that just because he minraises its something you have to catch him once doing either with you or another player. So when he goes to do it again you slam his minraise.
Assuming hes not doing this (which 75% of the time they are not) I think you have to go with your poker intuition here. I think when he re-raised you like that you knew you were beat. This hand is pretty standard as some noted above. But i dont think there is a right or wrong anwser here without knowing villian better. I'm willing to stack off here, but i would have raised more to protect my hand preflop. But at the same time im willing to lay the hand down as well. lol. Its a pickle!!!
