OK, sounds like you checked this out more closely than I did (wasn't thinking of there being that much money in the pot either). What if the instareraise made him accurately put heron on a range of AA, KK or AK though? Then would he be correct to fold? I know having an ace makes hero less likely to have AK or AA, but my instinct still tells me he would be right to fold.

Putting someone on exactly KK and then folding this pot is absolute sheer insanity in LHE. This is the button and BB. The typical hand range is much broader. I would certainly pop you back preflop with 10/10 plus in either position and I am stone cold tight- tight.

Post flop, I have Aces on a K high Board. I think I'm ahead, regardless. Sounds like somebody is awfully pessimistic. Yeah, he may have KK, but he may have AK or less, and this is a big pot. Folding is a big mistake.
