Opponent had been stealing a lot, but the hands I'd seen had been solid. I thought I might still have some FE, so went all in. Should I have laid it down?

Unless the minraise was unusual from this player and it seems like a monster, I quickly push here.

I believe your play was fine, especially since you should have quite reasonable folding equity. If Button pushed, calling should be terrible however.

Depending on the level, I think your FE here might be nil. Simply put, people don't like folding after they raise, even if they minraise.

You're getting called 75% of the time here, at the very least. I don't know if that's enough.

I don't think the mini-raise in this case meant anything (by which I mean I don't think she was aware of the 10BB 'rule', she was simply raising a goodish hand), this also meant I thought I might be able to get her to lay this down (although I agree with your reasoning in general).

BTW it was a 33.

Yeah, this is standard fish play, and standard fish play means you're getting called with a pretty large range here.
