I'd only been playing on this table for 1 round so I didn't have any good reads on the guy. When I made the call I thought he probably had AJ+ and was scard of the straight and flush draws. Is this a good assumption or should I give him credit for something big?

I think it's a pretty simple call. If he has AA he probably doesn't play like this and with his pfr he probably doesn't have A8/A7 either.

Your call after the flop is perfectly fine.

Thanks for confirming what I thought to be the right decision. Turns out he had pocket aces. I thought he could, but the all-in felt more like a scared bet than a strength bet. Although at the limits I play at, you see a lot of people go all-in first in pre-flop or on the flop with AA. At these limits people don't think about what others may have. This guy probably thought, SWEET I hit a set with pocket ace's, I"M ALL IN!. I guess I should give credit from now on to these uninformed players when they go all in or massively over bet the pot.

You're being massively results-oriented here. This is a very, very, very easy call. The vast majority of the time you're ahead here at this level.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

Right play, wrong result.
Huge overbets tend to be weaker hands, because many players try to milk their great hands and get value. I'd have called this and put an unknown villain on pretty much what you did, AJ+ (only one of a possible four combinations of which you're behind, by the way).
