i like it and i dont like it. theres not much in the pot so why risk so much when he mini re raises you like that.
i like it because you're repping a monster, and you probably have plenty of outs if he calls.
risky play...

Not a fan of re-raising preflop out of position.

Call pf, and either Check-call or Check-raise on the flop.

I would have re-raised even harder preflop, you're not getting any folds with that weak re-raise. Flop min-raise from villain is interesting- how well does he play? I would respect it more if villain plays poorly, as sets and overpairs are a possibility. IMO it's one of those call or go all-in situations that's read dependent, if you feel the min-raise was in weakness then a push is fine. Again if you had raised more preflop you would have been able to define his hand better and also have more fold equity down the line. Given your preflop actions though I think I like a check-raise/check-call line a little better than leading out. If villain bets heavy you can just peel, if villain bets weak you can drop the hamma.

Reraising preflop gets more money in the pot with what is probably the best hand, and puts him in a good position to potentially bluff out the best hand on the flop if he doesn't improve. Plus he prevents the big blind from speculating with a lot of weird hands that might catch lucky flops when he improves. I don't see what's wrong with this play.
