Here's the thinking:
He's got a hand because he called the flop. If he's got a flush it doesn't really matter what I do. Ditto a straight IMO. If he's got two pair or a set, I don't think he's going anywhere either. Soooo, the minraise here just helps him convince himself his one pair hand is good, or that he's got odds because of his lone heart and will have to call by the time we get to the river. I never min raise, like ever, but here it seemed like the right play.
