Just call on the flop. That minraise does nothing but tell him that you have a big hand. Looks like he laid down a strong ace, since it was pretty clear you at least had a T after raising him twice. If he had a strong ten you could've made a lot of money on the hand, but slowplaying it wouldn't have limited that either.

There's really no reason to raise the flop, especially with position, where you won't have to lead on the turn.

Looks like you were mixing in your limit game. In NL ring games you want to maximize profit from your monster hands by hiding your strength as much as possible while still getting them to commit as many chips as they will, underestimating the quality of hand they're up against.

I was an idiot, just got caught up in the moment. I got up and left right after this because I felt I made a big mistake probably because it was very late. At least my mistake didnt cost me money. Well yes it did cost me money.
