Default AA in early stages of a STT

I always struggle with AA in the early stages of a tournament. The blinds are so small, that you have to raise an enormous amount in order to keep from seeing 5 or 6 people to the flop, but then if I do that I end up feeling married to the hand and have a MUCH harder time letting go of it after the flop. Anyway, thoughts on what the play is here would be appreciated. I think I know the answer, but it's nice to check if I'm thinking right.

Paradise Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t5 (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

MP1 (t1140.00)
MP2 (t805.00)
MP3 (t1165.00)
CO (t760.00)
Button (t795.00)
SB (t1010.00)
BB (t1000.00)
Hero (t2090.00)
UTG+1 (t1235.00)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of t5.
[color=#CC3333]Hero raises to t30</font>, [color=#666666]3 folds</font>, MP3 calls t30, [color=#666666]4 folds</font>.

Flop: (t75) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] [color=#0000FF](2 players)</font>
[color=#CC3333]Hero bets t150</font>, [color=#CC3333]MP3 raises to t1135</font>, Hero ?

Also, I'm wondering if my raise preflop was enough, for the reasons I mentioned in the opening section. Thanks
