I know as a general rule you DON'T slow play aces.. But this is poker and sometimes the situation calls for it.

The table was tight, alot of folds to 2x / 3x raises

I took alot of blinds and had trouble getting any callers with a 2x raise..

3 hands before this one Player 1 was the chip leader, I hit him hard with a set of 10's to jump into the lead. He went all in on the next two hands (everyone folded). When I saw these I knew i had to let him move all in for the blinds again.

Very nice read and exceptional that it worked out. If it was me, he'd have caught two sevens

Fnord is an unknown quantity at this point

I like to reserve this play for when there are more players to act and the blinds are smaller.

I made similar play in the last SnG I played in. 9 player table level 1 or 2, I have KK UTG. I limp, a couple calls behind, Ace flops, I check/fold.
