This is actually a great play by Shaniac. The bet is a small gamble by him, but can look really scary to you. If you call it, half your stack is in which does not give you odds to call an all-in bet on the turn unless you hit. This is the range I think he is likely on:

1) A low-medium pair (22-44,77-TT) --- he is making this bet to find out if you really have him beat. He does not expect you to fold with overcards, but he does expect you to raise with an overpair, in which case he can fold. If you just call, he will put you on overs and will push any turn card that is unlikely to help you (perhaps any turn card).

2) A whopper --- either he is trying to get you to commit with a medium pair when he holds QQ-AA, or he has hit a full house or quads on the flop.

Given that, it might be best to just call his minraise and call any bet on the turn.

I DOUBT he has overcards to make this play. I also think that with AA or KK, he might do this, but I would think check-call would be more likely.
