That being said, you raised UTG, 3xBB to 600 and got popped to 3600. People say "that is not how I would play AA", but IMO this is like AA or KK pretty much all the time (assuming player is tight).

I kind of agree. With an initial raise to 600, a raise to 1000, 1200, or 1500, might be a big pair. But the large raise is also suspicious. Particularly with the stack sizes here, unless hero folds to the big reraise, he is likely in for all his chips.

Whenever, villain makes an unusual size bet in nay situation, you have to suspect either a very strong hand or a semibluff or bluff.

The large raise could easily also be AK or AQ trying to take the pot on a semibluff. However, that is less likely at this level of tournament, where people are less likely to fold to a reraise.
