Your fear of being outdrawn argument would hold water if the flop was A 9T but not on an A94r board. What can possibly outdraw a set on this board?
You made a good call.

Eh, maybe it's weak-tight on my part, but in this situation when a big stack risks almost all his chips against another big stack, after his opponent has shown strength by raising pf and then betting the flop - he's usually got more than 1 pair.

I agree, and its not weaktight to think so.
I mean in holdem profits come from being able to draw conclutions from your opponents behaivior and make the corrects play from that information;
How likely is he to have a hand we beat?
Is he likely to either be effected by your loose image and decide to go with A-weaker kicker, or do it because he cant muck an ace. Or any other reason to be unusually bold for all his chips?
Or does he just have a great hand and decides to get it allin in when he knows he is ahead. Im serious about this being weaktight and common. I mean why do so many people fail to valuebet the river when they dont have the nuts.
Now we know the result but I believe I would have said this anyway; he is afraid of you and will feel scared if any card commes which makes a better hand possible.
