It's your blog, so you cetainly have every right to post a new high water mark.
But really, the main point of this post should be that the other guy shouldn't have gone so ballistic, and ideally, you should have said nothing (unless you intentionally wanted to piss him off and tilt him more). His "what do I need to bet" question is clearly not worth an answer. And the "you have outs to the bad beat" comment isn't going to do anything except bother him.
Of course we're all human. We aren't robots at the poker table.
At what point was he going to make a laydown with those aces? Clearly if he checks, you bet the pot, somebody calls, he raises the min, and you move all in and the 3rd person calls. Fine, he gets the hint that two pair is no good.
But I think plenty of people would immediately call with any overpair to that board.
Now, if you both had stacks of $5k there. Okay, fine. You can't just go all in.
Once my AA hit a flop of 777. I got all in (this was $1/$2 and I had popped it to $50 pre-flop -- got all in for something like $200). Insta-call and I saw 78. Turn and river were 88.
Sometimes the deck hits you.
Anyway, imagine the power of your response being saying absolutely nothing for a while and maybe letting out an "WOW did I just get lucky. Thank you dealer."
