If you don't push with a high pair, you will get people calling you, and getting lucky with the flop/turn/river. If you do push, people holding a 7,2 will fold. In this situation, the guy probably didn't know how to play poker and called an all in call with nothing. The OP did everything right - if he put the guy on a 7,2/crappy hand, he probably should have slow played a little bit. But, first advanced rule of poker = never give your opponent a cheap card, whether that be the flop, turn or river - you are putting your hand at unnecessary risk.

Pre-flop, he has the best hand, why would he not go all in against a 7,2, he has like 95% of winning :S
