abgenac doesn't show [ Td, Jc ] a pair of tens.
SlappYou wins $6.4 from side pot #1 with a pair of aces.
SlappYou wins $102.2 from the main pot with a pair of aces.


Remember that whole me slowing down and thinking thing? Well thats what I did. Would you have put him on some weakass shit by the aggressive betting as a shortstack? I sure did. Or am I just lucky that he didnt have the set/2pair

Trying not to look at the outcome before I respond...

First, I would have played this somewhat differently. I would have raised him again (probably by the minimum, but maybe a bit stronger) on the flop. You think you're ahead here, don't give him a free card & don't let him take control of the hand by going into check-call mode so quickly. There's a place for it, but that place isn't playing aces on a flop of undercards.

Given that you did play it that way, I like the check-raise on the turn. It sends a clear message: my hand is strong and I think you're full of crap. Come get some.

As far as his holdings, he went out of his way to raise you on the flop - I would at least suspect a set, but two pair is unlikely given the board. There's no obvious draws for him to get cute with, so I could easily see a set of anything. I could also see him overvaluing top pair, which is why I'd want to re-raise him on the flop to find out if he buckles under the pressure. To me it's 50/50 if he has you beat or not. Given the way the rest of the hand went, I think you're either doubling him up or taking his stack; I don't see any good opportunities in here to really get a read on him and maybe make a tough fold.

Given the size of the pot vs the size of his stack, I assumed that there was no way I would fold to a $7 re-raise w/o getting us both committed. Any re-raise would have basically committed us both to the pot because of his stack size. So, for some reason I just waited until the turn so that I could make sure and get the rest of it in in case he was ever considering folding. Now that I look back, I think I should have just re-raised him and let him either fold or push on me and I call.
