No it wasn't. There are minimal times when you have your opponent exactly where you want him and you conceive a well disguised plan to get his stack. You have to take every edge that is offered. The only time I agree with dumping aces preflop is in super sattelites when you have enough chips to coast to the payout (seat in big tourny). There, their is no need to "gamble" because you have enough chips to accomplish your goal. Here there just isn't enough situations for you to wait for a better opportunity to quadruple up! Jump on that boat. If you lose, atleast you know you made the right play and that is variance for you. This game is about EV. This is a ++EV spot.
