Default Flopping trips vs a pro

Entered a satellite and won my way into a $1K no-limit event at the Bike this weekend. Good structure -- we started with $2000 and 25/25 blinds, with the levels each lasting an hour.

Level two (25/50 blinds). I'm at 2100 (or somewhere close --my recollection of the exact chip counts and bets is somewhat fuzzy). Allen Cunningham sat down to my immediate left just a few hands ago with about the same. No reads on him yet, but I know he's who he is.

I pick up ATo in middle position and limp behind two limpers. Allen limps, too.

Flop: Ac 6c Ad

Checked to Allen, who bets 250. Folded around to me, and I check-raise for another 400 more. He looks at me suspiciously, says "You have an ace?!" and calls.

Turn: Qh

I bet 700, he raises me all-in for another 700. I call.

When a good player says something like that it usually means he can beat whatever you have. But I can't imagine folding here either, mybe he has 66 and you can spike a boat on the river.

When a good player says something like that don't you think they are usually saying it to get a reaction out of you so they can make a decision about their hand? You see Daniel Negranu do this all the time.

They're trying to figure out if their kicker is good or if their mid pair is good or if you only check raise when you're bluffing.

I admit it looks like you're beat by a full house here. But I still don't think I can fold in this spot.

What hands do you think he could limp with that he would call your flop check raise and then set you allin on the turn, knowing he's going to get a call most likely?

His comment seems awful telling to me.

I interpreted his comment as a sign of genuine concern.

"Do You have an A"

Translation : Hope so, cause I have 66.
