Empire 100+1: AA UTG early rounds

[AceHiStation]

As I keep repeating, more of a cash game player but just wanted to check to see what you guys thought of my line. Standard limp-reraise? Easy push on flop? Last night I checked my AA on the flop and let JJ check behin to turn a set and double up off me so I was looking to take a faster line. Thanks in advance,
-Ace

and yes, this is the tourney thats still running.

I generally open-raise preflop to 3x here, but that's because I open-raise enough hands in general to get action.

I don't like your limp-reraise at all...it is sized REALLY poorly. You are giving him great odds to flop a set and bust you. If you are going to limp-reraise you should do it to something more like 250-275. With this size a bet he'll be more prone to move in over the top of you with QQ-TT (not saying he will, just saying he is more likely to) and if he calls he will actually be making a "mistake."

Your flop bet is egregiously oversized. At least try to make a bet that looks something like AK and bet 275-300.
