you got 15% of his stack in preflop, i don't think you can get away from the overpair on that flop. sucks if he flopped j's.

if your preflop reraise always indicates AA/KK then you can probably make your pf raise a bit bigger, because you laid him almost 2:1 preflop and gave him almost the exact implied odds he needed to play his hand for just set value to stack your telegraphed hand.

but yeah, considering stack sizes and barring any huge read, i think you're pretty happy at this level to get your chips in the middle with AA. Expect to to see KK/QQ/JJ here a lot.

Super easy push. I'd reraise a bit more preflop, like another dollar or two.

any reads on the villian?

No real draws out there, KK is the only hand that I see calling that you beat, and that probably re-raises pf. Maybe, maybe, QQ. I guess if villian is a total donk than you can be happy with the push. Otherwise, take a more passive line and see if you can get a showdown cheap. Folding is definitely not out of the question.

Considering the villian's stack size I do not think you were getting away from this one.
