3 Outer ...

I had A-10 off-suit. No raise before the flop. Six players called pre-flop (including the blinds) with me in fourth betting position. The flop had an Ace and two diamonds. I checked the flop. The position immediately behind me bet 25. It got around to me, and I raised to 500. I had three callers (two in front and one behind). The turn was a six, and, the small blind let out with a large bet. The player before me folded. I called and the player behind me called.

So, here are my questions:
- Did I have enough information to fold? I had a "feeling" that the player had hit two pair. A set or two pair are the only possible hands ... in my mind.
- What could I have done differently on this hand? I did the check-raise to run off other players. But, I think at least three of them felt like it was a semi-bluff.
- How can I get aggressive players to fold?
- From the other side of this hand, was it wise to call my check-raise? In particular, the winner of the hand called with an A-6.

Cheers
