The UTG player, a newcomer to our 2/5 table, raises to $20 and it folds around to me on the button. I look down to see AhKh and my first reaction is to 3-bet to $60. Something intangible about UTG's demeanor, however, makes me reassess, and I just call the $20 raise. We both have about $500 behind.
The flop comes K J 6 rainbow, and UTG bets $30. Once again I am tempted to 3-bet his ass, but end up just calling.
The turn is a blank, and UTG confidently pushes $100 across the betting line. Not wishing to commit my stack to TPTK, I fold facedown.
UTG proudly displays AA, and surprisingly I am nearly as pleased as he is.

Good thing your observations were spot on. I'd think folding AK would have been tough.
Wonder why players always have to show pocket aces?
i dont. if they swear i had aa, ill swear i had something else, whatever could be believable besides just aa
