Two or so orbits of the table later, this hand comes up. Villain seems to be a bit of a maniac, on later streets going crazy with over-bets, causing lots of folds. My initial read was that he may have gotten lucky with something like Tx. What do you think?

Haven't seen him pull the min-raise before. Thoughts? Thanks!

Agggh!!! I hate min raises lol.
Could get away with raising more preflop, the stacks are pretty deep bb-wise. Mp could easily have an excellent draw, a J or even have you drawing very slim with 3 10's and it won't be cheap to find out either way.
It's semi-conservative and prob feels a little too passive to fold but ultimately you just have ace high and will likely find a better spot later where you will be a significant favourite and he's in full maniac flow /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Call the miniraise and re-evaluate turn. I wouldn't be worried about a T or J so much as some type of draw on that board.

Sometimes against this type of player I would just push flop hoping he has a draw but I am sure that is spewy /images/graemlins/smile.gif
