Tricky call with Ace high...stupid?

[technologic]

playing 1/2 NL at PokerPlex...has somewhat of a read on this one guy, min bets on the flop when he has a piece of it, and checks when he doesn't. he's generally a loose player, paying off second best hands a decent amount.

something was fishy about this hand. posting a previous hand that made me call the next...
