Thanks, your thoughts are basically how I thought about the hand after the fact. After the flop, I bet the pot thinking I would win it here if both players had just over cards. After the turn, I made a rash decision, thinking if I made him play for all his chips, only 55, and hand with a 4, and 88 were calling. As Chevy Chase says in Dirty Work, "hindsight's 20/20". For whatever reason, TT-AA never popped into my mind, as I though he would re-raise on the flop with those hands.

I definitely play over pairs too fast, and need to adjust that part of my game.
