I had only been at the table for an hour and if he was capable of labeling me, I'd imagine he saw me as kinda nitty. He hadn't done anything remotely like this while I was at the table, and had played the hands he had very straightforwardly (fit or fold, donk bet on TPGK, obviously chasing flush draws).
I think he thought I was going to call and tried to persuade me otherwise. I think that he pretty clearly thought I had an overpair, and I thought at the time that my perceived nittiness was what made him try this move.
I was thinking of folding because I he hadn't done anything tricky and I was pretty afraid of the flush given his (very limited) history, but showing me the Ac just made me feel "strong means weak". It was an immediate gut knowledge that he didn't have the flush.
By the time he left the table about $1000 poorer, I would have called with or without the seeing the card, as it turned out that I saw his best hour. He was an idiot who basically slowplayed any good made hand and shoved semi-bluffs exclusively.
