Villian had come to the table with a huge stack, and let it dwindle away by basically not getting involved, at all. He hadn't gotten out of line, and had played very tight.

When he minreraises me preflop, his hand range narrows a lot for me: something like JJ+, AK, and air. I mean, I had only had about 70 hands with the guy, but he wasn't in the habit of raising, much less minreraising.

I was going to pull the trigger on the flop and just didn't. I thought that he could easily be trapping with a big hand and I knew I'd be PCing myself with any bet. So, my thoughts were that I would check it through, and let him bet inferior hands into me. Since I had the draw, it wasn't like I was going to be outdrawn (maybe into a split pot, but, you know, meh).

But then when he pushed the turn, I had second thoughts. Does anyone find a fold here, or is this an instacall, or somewhere in between?
