Sorry to repost this here, but i was not getting any responses in the bad beats section.  Here is what happened:

5 players at my table.  Blinds are 1000/20000

I am BB. 
UTG pushes all in with only $6400 chips
Cut Off Calls
Dealer Calls
SB Calls
I have pocket aces so I push all in.  I have about $9000 more than UTG who called all in first.

all of the other players call me.

Flop comes 10H 7H 2S
SB Bets 3000
Cut Off Folds
DealerCalls

TURN card is Jack Hearts

SB bets 3000 again
Dealer goes all in
SB Calls

River is 2 spades

UTG shows flush and wins the main pot
Dealer shows pocket queens
SB  shows King of clubs 2 of clubs
I flip over my pocket aces

WHO CALLS  an all in with 2 callers ahead of him with a KING 2??!!!!!!!!!!  He called 6400 originally and then 9000 more on my all in?   

Was i ever ticked!!!!!!!!

Was I stupid to push all in preflop with the aces?

It is very very rarely correct to fold Aces pre-flop and this isn't one of those times. Just realize though that your odds of winning the hand decrease as more people enter the pot. Since there is already at least 25K in the middle your raise of 9K more is unlikely to shake off anyone who came in for the 6400 call. Though you still have the best odds of winning it is possible that you are under a coin flip to win the hand with three others in there with you. Actual odds to win will depend on the other players' holdings. You got your money in good and lost the hand. It happens. Welcome to poker. You are not the first person to lose with AA.

If you have more detail about the chip stacks and payouts then we can start looking at the possibility of folding Aces but you are almost certainly correct to get your money in there and hope for the best.

If you get ticked off about people making calls with bad hands then you should study up on basic poker strategy. (Hint: you WANT them to do that.)

Not all the time. But seriously though, if bad players were not rewarded with suckouts every so often then poker would be a lot less profitable because the donks would all leave because they would be broke and not enjoying playing poker.
