Flopped a trap out of position

[Fnord]

How would you have played this hand? My thoughts to follow.

He called my flop bet pretty quickly, hesitated a bit to call me after the turn (I hesitated a bit too figuring out how much to charge) and a whole bunch before calling my final pot sized bet.

Interesting that he didn't show his hand at the table per strict showdown rules, however I got it in hand history. Interesting Party Poker quirk.

I figured him for an Ace with a weak kicker, but didn't realize how low until I saw this...

We call that "The Peoples Choice" Ace Anything!

its great because most people won't fold A,2-9o and you can really make a killing with the kicker.

There have been MANY times I've wanted to play A6o just because the table was poor. I can say i've saved alot more money dropping those hands than I would have made.
