i got AJ suited on the button. I raised, got re-raised and decided to re-re-raise all in hoping he would fold. He didn't ...

He never will. The play you describe above is almost certainly a huge leak in your game. Of course, the situation (stacks, blinds, opponent's tendencies, size of the raises) may alter how wrong the play is, but from the description you give, this appears to be a big mistake. It appears that both of your stacks were fairly deep (enough for you to raise, him to reraise and you to think that he could fold to an all-in), but this is rarely the case in Party SNGs (not sure if that's where you're playing). Without knowing more about the situation, I can't comment on what the correct play was, but you should know that you are almost never (99.9%) going to force a fold after a player has reraised you in a SNG. NEVER. If you push, it should be because you have the best hand.
