actually he brings up a good point
if played on the flop he may have been able to extract mroe chips. loose players LOVE to bet split pairs even if there's an overcard present so slick is perfect in this situation

So sorry, but this is exactly wrong. You are going to make any small pair fold or any hand like that so you will win a small pot or lose a huge pot vs. AA or KK (which you would have lost anyways). And as far as getting the higher kicker...odds are that anyone that would call or reraise all-in with TP 9 or 10 kicker would probably call your all-in on the flop with AT...ie DONKSVILLE.

read carefully, i said "split pair", alot of these guys will call your preflop raise with Kx Qx AQ and call bets because they paired one of there cards....its a great opportunity really

so much more room to play real poker on the flop and turn with this hand as opposed to pushing
