I'd expect a laggy opponent to lead that flop if he was the preflop raiser. The fact that he check min-raised doesn't feel right. He could have the ace of spades, a weird two pair, or an outright bluff at this point.

Use your position and call his raise to see what he does on the turn. Then depending on the card that falls and his action you can determine your optimal strategy.

You don't have much of a stack here, compared to the size of the raise. The push isn't too bad; I like it if you have $200.

With another hunny behind, you probably should wait and see if a non-spade comes before pushing.
