Default Re: flopping the nuts HU: slowplay or not?

I think I underestimated his short-stack-ed-ness. I thought he started with 80 at the beginning of the hand. Even though he has a decent stack, wouldn't asking him to put 60 in on the flop be basically pushing? That's why i resorted to it, but I guess i should reserve that for times I want to put pressure on them.. I wouldn't think any half-way decent player would commit half their stack on the flop without being ready to go the whole distance.

However, I'm amazed how often people call big bets OOP and fold on later streets, as if they think their opponent will just check behind after they check.

Anyway, i digress, do you think overpair lays down to my play and stays around for your suggestion?
