Hmm, I really don't see that at all. You went for a blind steal in late position with the big stack. When it failed, you got to see the flop anyway, and with that hand, you are likely to win big if it hits the flop hard (like it did). The only poor play was AA letting you see the flop for no more than your initial raise. I think your play was fine.
