It's in the game

Hi all,
This was a cash game last night at DTD, £0.50/£1, 8 handed and I have a stack of £180
I am on the button. Early position player, recently sat down, wearing poker stars hoodie and seems decent, raises to £5. Two more callers and given that they all have above average stacks I call with
.
(The blinds don't look at all interested so I am not worried about being re-raised pre-flop).
Anyway, the flop is
- I have flopped top two. The very reason I play a hand like this hand on the button with good implied odds against three deep stacks, particularly the original raiser.
He leads out for £10. I am beginning to think over-pair. The other two fold. I re-raise to £30.
He pushes all in. I have him covered but it's £120 to call.
I take my time. His range is now much narrower. Tens to aces still very much a possibility, as is a big suited ace. I am definitely thinking set here, although if he has eights or nines I am a little unlucky, already holding one of each myself. I do also wonder if he has 6,7 for a flopped straight. He seems too decent to be getting excited about crap like A,9.
He asks me if I have A,9 which I find a little offensive. Of course I have better than that but I'm still taking my time. Of course he could be goading me into a call with this comment.
Thoughts please - will tell you the outcome later. Thanks.

I wouldnt read too much into the Stars hoody - I've seen plenty of donks wear sites gear.
We really cant pass here. He can have any overpair or overs with a flush draw. Possibly even 10J is in his range here. If we're beat at the moment, its a cooler, simple as.

Easy call, i like the raise on the flop aswell, must be overpair QQ/KK type of hand. He never hit his two outer on the turn or river?

Yeah you should lose this pot for slow rolling.
Oh and i don't know of a single player who wears a poker stars hoody who is decent.

It's obviously call. As for reason it's on here, either he flips an overpair and has a go at you for nitrolling or he flips 67, in which case you have to like his lead.

Thanks all. I called, he showed 6,7 for a flopped straight.
The table agreed I had to call, as did my opponent, although in some warped, parallel universe (with the magical power of hindsight) I did feel I maybe could have passed.
Who am I kidding?!! I was always calling. I just like taking my time lol.

Cold deck, I call this as well.
It's one of those where you aren't thrilled with calling, cos you know he's probably got outs or there's a chance you're beat, but no way to get away from this one imo...
