Default Did I get too greedy?

Sorry, this is my first time posting a hand with this converter, alot of things stack sizes and such I couldn't get for some reason.

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of 15.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, CO calls, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero calls, CO calls.

Flop: 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, CO checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets 760 (All-In)</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, CO calls.

Reraise again pre-flop, you dont want 2 calls.

yeah i put in another bet preflop, and the flop cold call is pretty terrible, have to move in over the top of his shove and put the CO to the test

See I saw CO's call as a weak call...either a AJ or KQ or a small PP...I figure if he'd call the raise it'd be a mistake on his part.

You dont need to play in a deceptive way against people you never met and probably will never play again. He re-raises you so probably is happy to put the money in the middle. Just push all in preflop.

I suggest to push not because you might get outflopped, its not the biggest danger. The main problem is if he holds JJ or similar he will chearfully go broke preflop but might fold if flop comes KQx. And yes the guy who flat calls, its best to make him fold cause he is probably fishing and we dont want that.

Even though we can't see the bet amounts preflop, I don't see why you don't push- you've gotten a reraise out of a guy preflop, indicating he's got a big hand. No need to slowplay, especially with a person to act behind you.

Here is my best advice of the month. When holding AA preflop, never hit the call button.

Nearly all good AA stories start with: "I got him all-in and one guy flipped over KK and the other guy flipped over AK".

Nearly all bad AA stories start with: "I bet out into the low rainbow flop and got re-raised all-in. I insta-called and he flipped over a set (two pair, etc.)".

Yeah don't get too fancy with aces, reraise big with all the limpers. You'll get rid of the smaller pairs and suited connectors that way, and would have been paid against the KK, who isn't folding here.
