Default $22 Pokerstars -- Did I push too hard with AA?

Is $600 into an $800 pot too large a bet after the flop? Any opinions on the pre-flop raise?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t30 (7 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t1850)
UTG+1 (t2410)
MP1 (t2625)
CO (t1900)
Button (t2420)
Hero (t1508)
BB (t787)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="red">UTG raises to t90</font>, UTG+1 calls t90, <font color="gray">MP1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to t250</font>, <font color="gray">BB folds</font>, UTG calls t160, UTG+1 calls t160

I would raise more preflop, and I would bet around 400 on the flop, push a raise

they just did not connect, probably any bet makes them go away. Take it down.

id reraise a bit more preflop...build that pot with AA! then a 3/4-2/3 pot bet is usually good on the flop...bigger bets with more dangerous boards, but you still want to extract value with your AA...if you bet 5 or 600 here, any one villain is probably calling either bet so it probably doesnt make much difference.

This looks fairly good. I think I would raise more because you have a raiser and a caller, would be nice to get it heads up or make one of the raisers make a huge mistake (like reraising all in). The way it worked I would make a big bet on the flop because you are betting into 2 people and want to make 1) all draws unprofitable and 2) give someone with a Q a chance to bone up.
