Good Spot to Bluff a High Pocket Pair??

5/10 Party. Villain has 1k, I cover. Villain is pretty tight and reraises rarely. I have actually been playing pretty tight and have only shown a set, overpair, and straight. Here's the hand

I get tens in MP and raise it to 50, villain makes it 150 from the SB. I know I should probably fold, but I call anyway and hope to hit a set. I put him on AA/KK/QQ and maybe JJ, and I didn't think he would reraise AK OOP. Flop comes Axx. He bets 250, I go all in. Thoughts?

You get everything but AAA to fold right?

... I think I like it.

Do you play a big Ace like this?

Good if you know he doesn't re raise AK from the SB. Otherwise you're 50/50 against his range.

If you know he doesn't re raise AK you're well ahead.

Well if Villain knows he is solid, and knows solid players wouldn't play an Ace like this.......

I would play AK like this, with AQ I would call and see what he does on the turn, but usually I play way looser and get no respect and the villains hand range would be way bigger, so I couldn't usually try this.

AK is not folding for sure. I think vs Cardshark any A is insta-calling but if he is confident Villain rarely has AK there I think I like it.
