UTG ($88.75)
MP =#A500AF(Villain2)/ ($200.70)
CO ($28.80)
Button =#A500AF(Villain)/ ($86.70)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A, A.
1 fold, MP =#A500AF(Villain2)/ calls $1, 1 fold, Button =#A500AF(Villain)/ calls $1, SB completes, Hero raises to $4, MP =#A500AF(Villain2)/ calls $3, Button =#A500AF(Villain)/ raises to $7, SB folds, Hero raises to $18, MP =#A500AF(Villain2)/ calls $14, Button =#A500AF(Villain)/ calls $11.

With 2 limpers, I'd make it 5 minimum, probably 6 to go preflop. As played, I'd bet a little more on the flop, like 40, and obv call a push. As played, push.

You have gotta call his push. If he re-raised pre-flop with JJ or XJ then it's "gg!"
Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

Call the re-raise and expect to get beat by the guy that initially called your flop bet.

Your preflop reraise is too small.

You have aces and want to get heads-up when one player trying to see the flop cheaply and another is showing a lot of strength. Just go all-in. This hides your strength more than a smaller reraise does against the button (who will probably call with kings or perhaps even queens, which I would expect to see from a player who is actually capable of limp-raising on the button), and forces the other player out of the pot.
