Default The Most Donkeyfied Play I\"ve ever made-Please punish me severely

Ok in my continuing effort to humiliate myself whenever I make a DONKIFIED PLAY (like this one) I submit to you the following hand. Please provide the following:

1. Sadistic Verbal response to this horrible play
2. How you would play this.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (7 handed) converter

SB (t505)
Hero (t715)
UTG (t1190)
MP1 (t655)
MP2 (t1365)
CO (t1060)
Button (t2510)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to t100</font>, Button calls t100, SB calls t75, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t250</font>, CO calls t150, Button calls t150, SB calls t150.

Without question push preflop. I know this seems like results oriented advice but it isn't.

One raiser and 2 callers means difficult isolation. You raised 1/3 of your stack anyway. Push and hope to get HU where AA belongs.

1. Yeah, that sucked pretty bad. Did you really think you were getting anyone out with that feeble pre-flop raise?

2. Raise to a minimum of 400 pre-flop.

Push preflop.

Edit: you must do this because no one is going to fold to the 250 raise and there is enough interest you will probably get it allin HU against somebody, the ideal situation for AA.

I think you're play was fine.

EDIT: Except for not pushing the flop. Seriously though, why would you not want to get called by TPTK and a flush draw on the flop, getting almost 4:1 for 2/3 of your stack?

Why the bloody hell do you want to "get anyone out" when you have AA? I hope my sarcasm detector is broken.

&lt;&lt;Push preflop. &gt;&gt;

I have to agree here. With your stack I believe you best chance is to isolate and double-up. "Worst case" (at least we figure) is that everyone folds and you win 350 chips, which overall isn't that bad of a result (at least it beats what actually transpired). It is possible, however, that the one of the two hands that beat you calls your all-in and you go down in flames anyway. They certainly were not pot-committed at that point, however, so I believe a lay down of 6 6 and Q T s are fairly likely.
What level you playing at these days Sam, I haven't seen ya in a few days?
