Default Re: Fundamental error re-raising nut high here?

I think you should put in a full reraise preflop. In my experience, the min raise comes from a decent low oriented drawing hand and you are likely the favorite preflop. I would like to try and isolate (probably not typically possible at this level, but when you get the chance go for it). Then you can lead a lot of flops since he is going to be hard pressed to call anything with only a low draw which is what he will usually flop. You probably also want to lay off flops with 2 diamonds or 2 hearts since you have both black Aces he is somewhat likely to have a suited A and it will be red. Aggression gains in value as opponents go down.

The turn raise is probably bad and you are usually getting freerolled. If you are going to call on the flop, I prefer to lead at it. You are often good for high here, so why not take a shot at getting the whole pot if your opponents won't draw to naked lows (which decent players usually won't).
