12x BB third hand? That's a really big raise...
Anyways, do you recall a movie called Rounders? In the heads-up match with Teddy KGB near the end? If not, it goes something like this:
"Teddy's representing Aces, the only hand better than my cowboys.I can't take a chance of calling and letting him catch. I have two choices, fold, if I believe him, or... I re-raise, I'm all in"
Yeah, it was a cooler, but still 12x BB is a really big raise IMO...

I raised 8x the pot. I've played these guys before and the typical 3-5x raise doesn't work. If I raised $300, everyone would have called. When he re-raised me, I figured he had either A-A, A-K or A-Q. I thought, "Well, I beat 2 out of 3 possibilities." So I went all in. I am pretty sure if he had A-Q, he would have folded and called with the others. I don't think I made a mistake. Like you said, there was only one hand that had me beat. He had it,all right!
