Re: deep-stacked aces
very scary hand. you have a big 'ol monster, so it's hard not to re-pot PF... with 100BB stacks, it's an easy re-raise, but you're really deep; I'd want to A: keep the hand camoflauged, B: the pot under control (so you may still have enough implied odds to draw against a made hand on the flop) and C: so you can get busy post-flop with some check-raisin' if ya hit... that sounds W/T, but i think it's your best move here.
played the way you did... i check/call a 1/2 pot bet on the turn, fold to a full bet; Your aces are either beat already- two pair, set- barely ahead, or maybe even way behind a big draw (as was the case).
bottom line (this is a note to myself, too...) don't fall in love with aces out of position, esp when deep
