If the betting is at 10 dollars, and you have a 200 deep stack, you might as well write "I have aces" in permenant marker on your face while you push that preflop.
so what? people will still call to take a shot at cracking you. and if they don't, you still win the pot.

from theory of poker, pg 68: You've made a small raise, four of five people have called, and now someone puts in a substantial reraise. You must reraise again even if your play gives away your hand completely. It is worth dropping all disguise because as the pot gets larger and larger, what's in the pot right now counts more than potential bets on later rounds. With two aces you should put in all the bets you can.
