Hi! I recently used a little slow-playing in a way that I am pretty proud of. I lost the table history but what do you think of this:

Pot limit Blinds $0.05-$0.10 Royal Vegas Poker 10 player table
I got dealt AJo. There was a preflop raise (as big as the Big Blind) that I called and a few others too (4 or 5 I think). Well, the flop comes out AAJ! Everybody checks, except for one guy, who is two from the button (I´m one from the button) and bets $0.20. I "think" for a while, then call. Two or three others call too. The turn is a 5d, making it three diamonds on the table. Bettor guy bets just $0.10. I show no strength and call after a couple of seconds. One of the others folds. River is another Jack. Now he might have flush or Jacks full of Aces, or if he has an ace, the same hand as myself, so in the worst scenario I´m splitting money. He bets a dollar and a half. I reraise all in (4 dollars something), Everyone else folds, he calls after some thinking.

Result: I take home the pot, he mucks.

So, do you think I played it right or could I have done it better? Was it a mistake by him calling my all in raise? What did he put me on?

Thankful for comments,
W.

sometimes you have to play a hand this slowly, on the other hand, how much would it suck if a K or Q came and you lost the pot, but that would be fate, cuz AK isn't folding there. It looks good, you allowed as many callers as possible.
