1/2 on crazy Sat night table. Hero looks down at A
T
in SB. Couple of limps in LP including BTN, I (725) raise to 17$ to try and take it down preflop. Young guy in BB (170) calls, others fold.
Flop: (38) Q

I check, he bets out 50$. It looks like he's trying to protect a weak queen with the overbet and I think he wants a fold. I immediately announce AI. I don't think he has another buyin in pocket from how he's acted in game. I figure I have pretty good equity even if called as I think my aces are clean, but not sure how much fold equity or if it's enough. He goes into the tank, and is asking me questions. I tell him I have a pair and I'll show if he calls. (Maybe I should never talk?) He's looking pretty pained for almost 2 minutes when another player calls clock. He calls at 30s mark. Was this a good play?
