Pushing More Often - AA hand fairly standard

I'm trying to implement the push more often in my game when I have a monster or a lock in situations that a lesser hand is likely to pay me off. Was this one of those situations?

6 Handed Starts .25/.50 NL
Hero has AA utg.

CO open raises to 2.50
Button Calls 2.50
Hero Raises to 7.50
Both Call.

Pot has about 23$ in it
QT8 suits unimportant.

I push. I'm very confident that a Q will look me up here - I felt really good about this play. Can someone include some similar examples?
