I think betting more than half your stack shows a powerful hand, it's asking for a call. Whereas, if you didn't want the call you would have gone all-in for maximum scare power in a hand you didn't want to play.

Surely though this screws your chances of doubling up. A push in this position would get called by a lot of worse aces, Kx and a few Qx etc. If you are playing your hand like AA, then this is only ever going to be called by hands that are a lot stronger than that range
