Default Re: Over-betting Aces a good or bad idea?

Yesterday I was playing in a tourney on Stars and in the first level (10/20) I over-bet Aces by accident. I meant to do a standard 3x open raise but I must've hit the 7 with the 6 so my raise ended up being 670 ! I had lost a couple small pots so I had about 1350 so this raise was half my stack. Some one shoved in over the top on me with JJ, I called obviously and doubled up. This was by total accident but I too started wondering how often you could get it all-in pre with AA (which is ideally what you want to do if you can)by making a big overbet. Essentially I think it comes down to what other players at your table have. Most of the time a call here and you are probably gonna see JJ,QQ,KK and sometimes AK by someone who thinks you raised huge with TT or JJ and they'll be racing with you. I guess you would have to know the table well and they would have to have seen you do it with TT-KK in the past.
