You forgot that i had raised before you shoved and i called you with NONE of it with AA.
True it was late i suppose you did not see the AA but anyway i did not make it and i think i wont play this game again cause since they put it 4 instead of 8 its very hard and also very late went to bed around 1.00AM with nothink

It depends on which kind of player the other guy is. If he is loose and often raises, then your reraise is allright and also the all-in call. But if he is tight or you do not have much information about him just call the raise.

It's a real tough spot. You have to consider what's going to happen when you re-raise. You're almost always getting raised from better hands, and getting a lot of folds. Trick is to try and figure out of they're shoving with a big EV advantage (something you can never know). Flat calling preflop opens yourself up to a lot of really difficult post flop decisions, but 3 betting is going to be fold/shove pretty often. Calling the shove, you're hoping to see a smaller pair (unlikely, maybe TT) or AK-AQ.
I'd suggest folding in this spot, there'll be better spots later, but you didn't play it terribly (maybe raise a tad more, 3.5-4.5x. Pretty -EV considering what villan is likely doing this with.
