Any merit to calling big raise pre-flop w/ AA? 5-5 NLHE

[Al_Capone_Junior]

I see little reason to not raise here. He's committed half his stack and will almost certainly push in the rest, thus leaving you way ahead and loving life.

Perhaps there's some scenario that might occur when the stacks are REAL deep where deception would have more value than reraising, but I'm not going to try and think of what it might be. I would always reraise and not bother trying to figure out a clever and tricky way to let them have a cheap flop and perhaps outdraw me.
