Hi.
In this hand I was playing against a man with 40bb. I think, my hand was worth 20-30bb, but his small stack made me put too many chips in the pot.
How would you play this hand?

Preflop: Hero is BB with A♥, T♦
3 folds, CO raises to $0.40, 2 folds, Hero calls $0.30.
My opponent is tight but he raises from late position, so AT is worth a call.
Flop: ($0.85) A♠, 7♣, 2♥ (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $0.7, Hero calls $0.70.
I have a top pair but my kicker isn't strong, I play check-call.
Turn: ($2.25) Q♦ (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $2.3, Hero raises to $7.13 (All-In), CO calls $0.80 (All-In).
A high card lays on the table and the villain shoots the 2nd barrel. Because of his small stack, call here is not an option - either fold or his all-in.
I thought that there were more weaker aces (A3, A4, A5, A6, A8, A9) than stronger aces (AK, AQ, AJ, A7,A2), so I raise.
River: ($12.48) 3♦ (2 players)
Final Pot: $12.48
Results follow (highlight to see):
CO shows a pair of aces (Ac Ks)
Hero shows a pair of aces (Ah Td)
CO wins with a pair of aces (Ac Ks)
Hero wins with a pair of aces (Ah Td)
