I don't think it's a fist pump. Hero bet full pot, not a bluff inducer and then villain min-raised. Being as he can't rule out some dangerous hands on your part like 99 or AhKh I don't know why he is minraising and that makes it hard to put him on a hand, but the minraise is weirder for a draw than a made hand isn't it? and I don't see this being anything you crush except maybe JJ. Seems like a really crazy spot for him to be just bluffing.

I'm not necessarily saying fold, but I can certainly see why you aren't happy.

i never really pump my fist here, but i never really agonize either. just shrug and call usually.

I only had a few hands w/ villain but he played in most of them, I think he was 80 vpip for 5 hands when this hand occured. Did I play it correctly? Maybe I should have raised pf?

I think I'd play it exactly the same, could we possibly check the flop as a form of pot control? I wouldn't feel at all comfortable about that. I would expect the case Ace to raise at some point with that board. Looks like A4, but I'm a station, and would make a crying call.
