Bonus Question : What did villain turn over?

Villian min-raises the whole table? In a no-limit ring game that kind of raise is nothing short of donkish and I'm now suspicious this guy has a serious case of Fancy Play Syndrome! Either that or he's a fish of the bottom feeding varity and has ATM stamped on his forehead!

I suppose it's possible villian is slowplaying a big hand but you've already said you saw two pocket aces while waiting for your first hand - what's that? 2 pocket AA in two hands and now the villian maybe slowplaying a 3rd in three? That's pushig probability to the extreme!

I can't fault your play except to point out you were playing too short stacked. With TPTK firing a second shot is reasonabe enough especially with 2 flush draws now on the board and you only had enough to cut the drawing odds with an all-in anyway. With a less threating board you might have checked to see what nemo would do - like inducing a bluff - but that may be giving him a free card to outdraw you so it's a toss up imo. You'd have to ck-raise any bet with all-in anyway so you'd might as well make the bet yourself. Then of course there is the possibility you're already dead but he's given no indication of that other than calling pf and flop which tells me he has something and is most likely on a draw or less likely - trapping with A-8.

What did he have? Since he called a 5xbb re-raise (vs his min-raise and 4 limpers) and then called pf, flop and turn he'd better have at least one ace or one 8 else he's in disperate need of help for his gambling addiction.
