Default Re: AA form BB, 3rd hand; too aggressive?

I do agree with the thoughts that my raise should have been higher due to all the callers. I think I had made up my mind as soon as UTG bet on what my reraise would be and didn't count the callers and add to my raise.

I pretty much put him on kings or queens with the small possibility of Aces. I pushed in when it got to me and he called and had queens. I'll take that action any day being at 80% to win.
I was just curious as to if anyone would just call his reraise and see what happens on the flop but that just sounds weak. Sorry doesn't sound weak, it is!

Calling with position is a viable option if you have a read that the villain will c-bet even if the flop misses. The problem here is that if he's on AK, you can get his chips in pre-flop much easier than if he whiffs. But I would not do this until much later in the tournament against an aggressive villain, and out of the blinds you must raise.
