No point flat calling as an Ace is the only card thats really going to change things from your perspective

On a non-draw board why would he raise if he had trips? There are basically no hands he should be worried about on the flop. I put him on medium pair and doesnt believe you've hit the flop with AK/AQ or he has JJ/QQ.
but it's not just a minraise. it's bet/3bet. the lack of draws makes it more likely that he already has a monster. why would he raise? because that's what you do when you have a good hand...unless you like to play backwards and just put lots of money in when you are behind and slow way down when you are ahead. Also, there's no way to be sure that we aren't going to be able to see a cheap showdown just b/c of the action so far. Villain may just check the turn, he may bet tiny again...you don't know anything for sure.
