Didn't have much of a read on villain, just sat down, hadn't played with him before.

I wouldn't call the min raise. Reraise or fold.

[emil3000]

Can I get some reasoning? Reraising certainly doesn't fold anything out when I'm behind (well maybe AA), and I think gives the opponent a better chance to get away from AK or a lower PP than a call does. If his reraise was about $10 bigger I'd agree with you, but in the hand it felt like either a probe that he wanted an escape from if it went bad, or something powerful, a ten being the obvious example.

[Kaz The Original]

I would probably fold that flop barring a read. If I was going to play, it would be because my opponent is a maniac. Since maniacs can have anything I would want to protect my hand from whatever he could have.

[emil3000]

I agree that folding might well be the best option. It was the reraising part of your answer that puzzled me.

[amoeba]

if you think AK is possible within his range of hands then why do you call the turn?

[emil3000]

I don't like it in retrospect. I had him to firmly pinned on a PP. I got 3.5-1 for my money, but that's probably not enough.
