In my opinion, most $11 players are not able to fold anything slightly decent when you re-raise them all-in at this point. I believe this guy was no exception. You don't want a call from anything decent here.
I think, if you really want this pot you'll have better chance with calling and going all in after a flop without an A or K.

You have 0 FE here and if he does fold he is so wrong with any hand he has. He is very pot committed by point.

Even against two overcards this is still a gamble in a coinflip type situation, although a high pocket pair seems more likely in this situation. With his 2.5X BB raise I would put him on JJ or better.

If I want to play this aggressively I'd stop and go. Since I don't like calling with a huge stack behind us who will come in a fair amount of time if he can do it cheaply I think its too risky to pull the stop and go line here, and since the push is almost certainly getting called by something were either flipping with or way behind to, I fold.

Edit: And JJ+ is somewhat more likely here since at 10's people don't realize what you're doing (obviously pot committing yourself) and when I pick up AA or KK I'll raise like this to make it more likely to get a caller.

Gambling considering his is pot committed. If he has higher pair, hes gonna cripple you.. its almost certainly gonna be a bigger pocket pair or a coinflip with 2 overcards. Now if he had a similar stack size to yours, and you made this same play it is +EV.

this is gambling here, no need to get tricky. If the blinds were one level higher and you had about hafl the chpis at the table i like this play.
