With an SPR that low (~1), an over-pair is effectively the nuts. Shove, call or whatever, the money is in the middle. Not a thing you can do about it but reload and move on.
Thats a great flop to call off. Unlikely he has a T. Chances of flopping trips 1.35%. Oops! Reload. He is behind everything you 3bet. AT is a fold. You are at a good table. Keep playing.
As the IR, you are expected to c-bet a flop that dry. I generally prefer a small bet when deeper but it just doesn't matter here. Neither of you have the stack depths to do anything but get them in. With KK on that flop, I am dying to get it in, knowing he doesn't have AA or he would have 4-bet shoved preflop.
ATs is a different beast than ATo. I think people over-value the unsuited version way too much. Will some people call the 3-bet with it? Yup. Take note of that and start sizing up your value bets and reducing your bluffs because the player is a calling station. You only need to see a few hands showdown to confirm that and then you are printing money for the rest of the session unless he runs extremely good.

I am new to Ring games but it looks to me like you got sucked out on. I am curious as to what warloch and high five would say. Will be watching

Glad to see all of these illuminating comments. YES, "Think" you were the victim of suck out. You move on and thats easier said than done. Cheers, CC
