I played this badly. I decided to get sneaky with aces, so I just called and got two callers and all heart flop. What to do in this position? I know I should have raised with aces, but beside that?

hi,

in the end AA is only 2 pair and you need to be able to fold AA postflop.
however,
his bet is only 1800 into a 15k pot.
with a bet this tiny i am still calling and see what happens on the river.
if a big bet comes be prepaired to fold.

but you have 2 aces with makes it unprobable for him to have the ace of hearts.
so it s very possible he himself is afraid of the flush and therefore betting small.

if he checks the river you can probably take the pot down with a big bet.

Raise on flop is I think not so bad, but if you want to do it make at least 4,8k.
Now he will newer fold on this min-raise.
As played I call this funky bet and her-evaluate river like cccpXIRNMD said.

Hey!

If you decide to play it tricky you need to get value from all hits + draw or any jx hand. So raise flop not to 3,k not to 4k on lowlimits to 8-9k! if he calls you can give up turn...

Greets,
