50NL. Hero is in BB, fullstacked with :Ah::Ad:. Villain is in CO, also fullstacked. UTG, UTG+1, HJ and CO limp. Hero raises to $3.50. UTG and CO call. Pot=~$12

Flop-------:Jh:---------Hero bets $8. Villain raises to $16, Hero reraises to $24, Villain calls. Pot=$60

Turn-----------------Hero pushes.


Is the flop the rare place where a minraise is good? I thought it was. Either I'm wa/wb. Minraising allows me to get a little more $ in the pot if villain is playing position w/ TP or is on a draw, while allowing me to get away w/ 1/2 a stack if villain pushes. His hesitant flat call, the turn rag, and my general read of the situation made me think my aces were good, so I shoved.
Now, tell me why I'm a retard...
