Villan is ultra-aggressive: playing 80% of the pots, min-raising over 50% of those. Is this just bad luck or did I screw up somewhere (calling after he reraised my [dubious?] check-raise)?

I think its pretty easy to get away from, esp when he is putting his whole stack in jeaporady,if someone hit a set and you had AA it might be a lil harder to get away from.

In a vaccuum, this is pretty tough to get away from. I would've played it differently on the flop, but I don't think folding's really an option at 5.50 here. Although, I must admit that min-raise/min-bet/push is a very scary line, even after putting villain on a monster it's hard to know what it is and if it beats you.

Factor in this, and I may have played it similarly to you.

I think you should re-raise allin preflop.
