There might be postflop play because we still have one more potential caller (worm68). If we make just a call here, we can let him join the pot. Or maybe he even be tempted to reraise (or shove).
Oops, my bad. But still, I don't like inviting people to join the hand when I have aces. I do like to do that when I have hands with nice implied odds potential like suited broadway hands or suited connectors *AND* (and that's a big AND) we are all pretty deep.

Neither do I, this is why I squeezed worm68 out of this pot. But when you have aces and only one opponent you want to take all his money (especially when he is short). So, you want to get called. My reasoning was as follows: I was the original raiser from early position (UTG+1). Then, we have a caller (worm68). Still, it doesn't stop RedeemedSoul from raising. What does it mean? It's either he has a huge hand or he is a comlete donk. In either case he will call my reraise. But will he call if I insta-shove? I am not sure. It is hard to get off this hand (especially considering how people play on these limits), but not impossible. In any case, I have a feeling that I got as much from this hand as it was possible.

OK i read this thread and on the first hand:- you didnt have to let it go to all in? as you only had top pair so even if you had raised a big amount and he had come with you, you should have had alarm bells ringing when he flat called you (even thou he wasn't ahead at that point) you need to ask your self WHY? why did he call? i might have put him on trips after the flop. He did get very lucky to get trip Jacks and you was unlucky BUT you could have got out that pot a lot easyer. As for the second hand sitting there with AA its the best feeling when some one is betting into you isn't it So should you re-raise...i think you should as even when ive min raised some one every time ie same hand, only once has the other player folded saying "min raise twice??" i took it as he thought i had AA in reality i had 1010 but was very militent and he folded QQ on a rag flop so he was wrong with me but its the way you play a hand not esentially what you have , that only matters if you go to a show down. Any way thanks for posting you hands it was good to use my brain a little
OK, another one. This hand was played during the same session as the previous one. PokerStars Game #41312336268: Hold'em No Limit ($0.10/$0.25 USD) - 2010/03/18 1:14:43 MSK [2010/03/17 18:14:43 ET] Table 'Sualocin' 9-max Seat #5 is the button Seat 1: IceQbe ($31.80 in chips) Seat 2: VanCityHero ($12.10 in chips) Seat 3: lassiter666 ($13.15 in chips) Seat 4: PkrDealer86 ($22.30 in chips) Seat 5: jaimemuro01 ($5 in chips) Seat 6: HERO ($24.40 in chips) Seat 7: Icona808 ($4.20 in chips) Seat 8: Sedys ($4.65 in chips) Seat 9: bili160 ($30.85 in chips) HERO: posts small blind $0.10 Icona808: posts big blind $0.25 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to HERO [8c 8d] Sedys: folds bili160: raises $0.75 to $1 IceQbe: folds VanCityHero: folds lassiter666: folds PkrDealer86: folds jaimemuro01: folds HERO: ??? We don't have information on the BB. bili160 is a solid player and his bet from the early position (UTG +1) can mean only one thing - he's got a hand. What would you do here? Fold? Call? Raise? Just remember, that after the flop we will not have position and will act first. Please, comment your decisions.
So should you re-raise...i think you should as even when ive min raised some one every time ie same hand, only once has the other player folded saying "min raise twice??" i took it as he thought i had AA in reality i had 1010 but was very militent and he folded QQ on a rag flop 
so he was wrong with me but its the way you play a hand not esentially what you have , that only matters if you go to a show down.
