Default Where to draw the line?

I was playing some 2/5 NL and there is a 20 dollar raise before me from the CO, I looked down on the button to see a nice pair of kings. I repop it to 60 and CO tanks. I mean really tanks, as in 10 minutes of shuffling his chips tanks. Now I'm fine with this when somebody has a decision but when I called I found he had aces. When I asked why he did it he said he wanted to disguise his hand. I can sympathize but where do you cross the line from disguising your hand and not giving off any tells to showing a complete lack of ediquite. I know I certainly dont do this, if I have a play thats that obvious, I take about 5 seconds so its not instantaneous and make my move. What are your thoughts?

So lets get this straight. He raises, you re-raise, he tanks.... RAISES, and you never once thought he had AA?

Oh I thought about it I'm just one of those people who is never going to fold KK with a stack under 200bb. I have seen people tank with AK too FWIW.

You never said if he pushed, or how much he re-raised. Realize that this thread kinda sucks because of that. Details dude!

I guess he meaans it's ridiculous to think 10 mins with AA, what he can accomplish in 10 min of acting, he could as well have done in 1 min.

I'm assuming he re-raised after tanking. Should this be in BBV?

Yeah, thats why I call for the clock after 2 minutes as per the last thread on time.

I certainly hope the d bag tipped the dealer at least 5 bucks if not ten, since he ruined the dealers time in the box.

This is ALWAYS and ONLY aces when they tank like this. Re: etiquette, it was pretty considerate of him to broadcast his hand like that...
