    I figured I would go with it to try and win a big pot? Is this bad thinking or was this an easy fold?

    This is interesting...

    That guy is a complete idiot first off. All in, call and you have top set which is the 2nd nuts at this point. This is difficult and even if you are against a flush, you'll have 10 outs going to the river. I'd be a little hesitant thinking that the caller either flopped it or has the As which in that case would be a pretty bad call to make on his part. I'd probably make this call every time and go for broke with this hand.
