Default Was I a donkey, AK two pair on flop?

second hand of 10 sng, I wanted to make the flush draw and weak Ace or KQ pay me off. Is this bet too big, or should I be worried about the two hands that beat me here AA or KK?

I think you're best off putting the buy-in in the subject line.

There's exactly one way to make AA and exactly one to make KK. At an $11, you'd be crazy to fear those two hands. Fire up another when he has it.

Would you be correct to fear them in a higher level?

Betting pattern says AA, KK or, most likely AK, AQ. I agree, AA and KK are extremely low prob. If this is a low buy-in, which it looks like by the guy's min raises, I'm pushing.

I would need a very, very strong read to ever consider laying this down here.
