i understand not backing down preflop, but with the flopped ace your dead if he's even holding A2. if he's betting hard, you have to fold. and then the turn ace - yikes!

with his preflop behavior, i'd put him on AA, KK (unlikely as you had two of them), possibly AK, maybe AQ - point is, with any of these hands, you're drawing dead.

you have to be willing to muck KK if you put someone on a pair of aces, let alone 4 of them!
OK, I have to clarify something. I said it wrong earlier. After the turn brought a second A, I was confident that he COULDN'T have quad Aces. The chances are too slim. I typed in 'could' because I'm an idiot who doesn't proof-read.

As far as the tell, that's what made the hand so much easier to play.

This is a pretty tight player, so I wasn't thinking for a second that he has Ax, it had to be a pocket pair and it had to be Q or higher. I thought it might be Aces, until 2 of them came down, I was mostly check/calling the odds. (I had already put about $15 in the pot before the flop and I wanted to see it to the end)
