Default live 2-4: show my ace?

$10 straddle on the button. one limper, I make it $45 in cutoff+1 with A9s. cutoff calls. sb is a tight/weak player who labors forever and i think mutters something about being "dominated" and then calls. bb folds, button straddler calls, limper folds.

Flop A84r, checked around. Turn T, putting out two diamonds. SB thinks for like 15 seconds and checks. I bet $125, cutoff and button fold. SB tanks and can't seem to make up his mind. He has about $200 behind. I show him my ace, and he folds.

I can't see how showing a card here can possibly help you in any way.

I regretted it afterwards, since he folded pretty fast. I really thought he was thinking about whether to call w/ AJ, so the idea of showing the ace just kind of hit me in the moment. Remember a lot of live players think of bets in absolute terms instead of relative ones, so my raise to $45 PF (even though the pot was killed), and $125 bet on the turn (even though pot was big) would seem very strong to this guy. I would like it better if I had A2, I guess.
