1/2 No Live Game Aces

[EvlG]

First off, I've been reading 2+2 for a while but just now posting - thanks for all the tips everyone!

Playing in a 1/2 NO game last night, fairly shallow stacks (everyone at the table had between 100 and 200). Hadn't played with the players before, but based on early read after a couple dozen hands was that a couple of guys were fairly tricky, especially lots of check raising TPTK or overpairs from early pos when they knew others would bet at the pot. If I had to say anything about these 2 guys, it would be that they tended to play more hands than maybe is appropriate, but then the rest of the table felt pretty loose, and I only saw a couple dozen hands so sample size was tiny.

After an hour or so of play I look down at my hand and find 2 big beautiful red Aces....

Preflop

UTG calls, (one of the aforementioned tricky players), folds around to me on the Button (A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]). I raise to $8, SB calls, BB calls, UTG calls. 4 players.

Flop (8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] $32 in pot)

Checks to me, I bet $15, folds to UTG+2, who then raises to $30. I instantly push (about $150 left, I have him covered by $16).

He thinks and thinks and thinks and thinks, pained expressions on his face. As long as it took him to think, I begin to feel more and more confident about me being ahead.

Results to follow.

What do you think of my play on this hand?

if you plan on getting all your money in on this board why not smooth call the flop and raise/push the turn?
if your ahead on the flop you get more money and your not going to get a better hand to fold so you might as well make more when your ahead.

I dont like the push.... I dont see any hand that calls you which loses.
