I probably should have bet out here for information. I have a fairly good read on the other player, though. He will often bet big on the flop with top pair and slow down on the turn.

I dont think folding can be that horribly wrong.

Yeah, after thinking it over and discussing the hand with beset7, I think it's a pretty clear fold. A better line would have been to bet the flop and fold to a raise.

I ended up making what was probably the worst move, flat calling the flop. The turn was a Th, he checked, I checked behind. He's not folding here if he has AA and he could easily have AAJ or AAQ which would entice a call.

The river was the beautiful Kd and my bad play won me a big pot after he potted it and paid off my all in with, of course, AA.

Folding second nuts on the flop isnt a clear move. If you fold every time you flop a set in a raised pot with an ace on board you thinking about folding? Folding the flop is weak and you should be come out firing on the flop or maybe check/raise if you know hes gonna bet in position.

Slow down when the ten comes, he could easily be semibluffing with a holding like Qs Js 9h 8h which is a raising hand in position.

Say a six or an ACE comes on the river and you make your kings full, you considering about folding?
