Making it $50 with the aces was very reasonable. You'd much rather play this pot in position heads up against the raiser and force him to make a big mistake by putting half his stack in preflop when you have aces (pretty much committing you to the pot) rather than calling and building a big pot against a large field out of position where one of them will outflop you and stack you and the rest will fold on the flop.
