Well - it's logically possible (though unlikely) he has AA too

In response to your post, since we are talking about solid players, I doubt he would re-raise my EP raise with hands like AQ or TT. This means that logically, he would only re-raise with 4 hands: KK, QQ, AK, and JJ. Out of those hands, the only hand that he might be willing to play for his stack preflop is KK. If I'm that guy and a fairly tight player goes over the top of my re-raise from EP, I'm mucking QQ, AK, and JJ everytime. There are not that many players that are essential calling stations but become rocks after the flop. However, it has been my experience that when the flop comes all rags, people have an even tougher time folding hands such as QQ or KK than they would preflop.

If one is in a game where there is not alot of pre-flop raising and you can't risk checking up front, then I agree with the original posters strategy as long as you are taking the flop heads up. This of course is predicated on the assumption that you have the ability to put your opponent on a hand accurately. The chances of a flop and board (all 5 cards) having a jack or better when you are holding AA is: 69.5% and 86.9% respectively. These numbers are too high if your opponent plays much better than you after the flop.

The only time I like this play is when I can put the player on KK or QQ. Additionally there are many players who will play for their stack with AK preflop but not an additional dime on a missed flop. You need to charge these players the max.

I will flat call in position against aggressive post-flop players. Out of position, I'm more likely to reraise.

It goes without saying that this is a very good situation to be in! Unless I'm playing against the tightest of players I think its best to reraise here. I understand that smooth calling and then check raising the flop may be a good idea sometimes, but I think the best play with AA is to try and get as much money in as you can preflop. If you do smooth call and the flop brings one or two paints then your opponant can put alot of pressure on you.
If you are going to re-re-raise I think Its best just to push... Alot of people will see this as a weaker move than raising to $40.
On a side issue, if your opponant can easily put you on AA if you reraise here maybe you should try and be more aggressive prefolp with AK-JJ.
