the preflop play is a mess. unless a player is tight/passive i will usually just push with the Cowboys and suck it up if i run into Aces. at the very least you need to make a larger and more significant preflop re-raise. with a VP$IP of 20 he's not particularly tight....i agree this looks a lot like AA but you definitely should have bet the flop.

My biggest problem and the reason I didn't push was because there was a raise and then he reraised. I put it in my head that if he raised me again preflop I would see the flop but take a no set no bet attitude.

Too many people play TT-QQ that way, I'm losing my stack to aces everytime in this situation. And I'm stacking the idiot that played AK or QQ that way.

He's obviously only got a pair at best, because he probably would'nt have bet out with a set. There's only one pair that beats you here. I think you get shown AT AK and QQ more often than Aces in this situation.
