Flop- fold to the re-raise
Turn - since your still in fold
River - since your still in fold

What made you think you were ahead here?

I figured that with 2 aces on the flop, his raise was more likely to mean a 10 or a pocket pair than an ace. If only one A had hit the board, I'd probably have folded the flop. Is this really that terrible (the river call was bad, but I was getting 3:1).

How bad is this line really?

You've shown alot of strength and yet he still raises you. You called his raise implying even more strength, yet he keeps betting on the turn. He's obviously not afraid of the Aces, probably because he has one. JMO
