Why did this work?
Well, for starters, I knew he was very aggressive, and tended to make good bets and calls. He saw the all-in as weakness, and probably put me on an underpair.
Secondly, he had a huge stack, and I had noted that he made a habit of calling stacks shorter than his on their all-in's when he had only marginal hands, so it occurred to me that slow playing (with a board that I was pretty sure missed him as far as a straight is concerned, I had him on AQ or KQ) wouldn't extract as many chips as the 'desparation' move would.
Please feel free to expand on it..
