Default AA early position

Ok, since the hand converter doesn't like me today, i'll type this hand out.

Party 25PLO 8 players
Hero: 26.40
Villian: 25

Villian posts as it's his first hand (didn't wait for blinds)
Hero dealt: Tc, 3h, Ad, Ac
UTG limps, Hero limps, 2 more limpers, random-guy makes it 1.85 to go, Villian re-raises to 6.65.
Folds to hero, what is Hero's play?
Do I fold here with Aces? Do I reraise the pot?

Remember, it may sound like a dumb question because i'm quite new.

When it gets to you, you will be able to get the vast majority of your stack in preflop (about $22, with $3 behind, unless my addled brain ain't working again). Anytime you can get your stack in preflop with aces you are at least a small favorite (unless of course you are up against another pair of aces with better side cards, yours aren't that bad). Repot and then push your last $3 no matter what flops.

I would reraise the pot at a pp25 table and then shove in on most flops if called. I think there is little merit to a flat call with such shallow stacks unless you are super confident that he has KK or something. And the only time you could fold is if you were sure you were up against the other two aces, and even then it is very debatable.

Push. You are going to be up against KK or complete junk 97.4% of the time.

Ok, thanks for the advice.
That is what I did, just wanted to make sure that it was not the wrong play is all.

im guessing he lost, which is why he asked.

Not enough of us ask about hands where we won.

EDIT: in fact, I'll do that right now.

Your thinking is too results orientated [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
the results don't matter to me, what mattered is that I made the right play.

I figure'd it was an easy basic question, I was just unsure of my action at the time [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
