Looks to me like the other guy realised you were weak and reraised to take the pot. If I'd made his play and been called by AJ I'd have been irritated. Shame for you though, but did you make the call thinking you were ahead?

I actually thought I was ahead since the villain in this case had been using his (relatively) big stack to bully everyone at the table. I realised I could have been wrong but I figured an overpair to the board or AK/AQ would have raised PF and bet out on the flop, A(of clubs)X probably would have done the same thing and if he was holding the flush then he most likely would have played it a bit slower. The only hands I really feared were a king/queen high flush draw.

hard to say if that was a good call.. He reraised you all in and you were only on a flush draw. I realise that you were ahead but did you call him on the basis that you thought he was bluffing or you hoped to get lucky and draw out with the flush?

Fair enough, with a solid read it's a great call. Hard luck.
