€2 NLHE MTT: Got my As cracked, could I have avoided it by betting differently?

PokerStars - Pä1.81+Pä0.19|25/50 NL - Holdem - 7 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

SB: 3.72 BB (VPIP: 47.37, PFR: 31.58, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, hands: 19)
BB: 60 BB (VPIP: 0.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 2)
UTG: 54.52 BB (VPIP: 61.54, PFR: 16.67, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 13)
UTG+1: 60 BB
MP: 5.32 BB (VPIP: 84.21, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 19)
CO: 65.52 BB (VPIP: 31.58, PFR: 5.26, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 19)
Hero (BTN): 116 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has A A♣

UTG raises to 2 BB, UTG+1 calls 2 BB, MP calls 2 BB, fold, Hero raises to 4 BB, SB calls 3.22 BB and is all-in, fold, UTG calls 2 BB, UTG+1 raises to 60 BB and is all-in, MP calls 3.32 BB and is all-in, Hero raises to 116 BB and is all-in, fold

Flop: (134.04 BB, 4 players) 9 8 J

Turn: (134.04 BB, 4 players) J

River: (134.04 BB, 4 players) T♣

UTG+1 shows A Q♠ (Straight, Queen High)

Hero shows A A♣ (Two Pair, Aces and Jacks)

MP shows 8♣ K♣ (Two Pair, Jacks and Eights)

SB shows 7 A♠ (Straight, Jack High)

UTG+1 wins 134.04 BB


I feel like it was partially my fault for only raising to 4bb. But either way I think UTG + 1 might've called... Was it just bad luck?

Preflop should bet at least 8-12 bb either way we are not folding because AA are still the best hand preflop.

I wonder if UTG+1 would have called that in all fairness. What reads did OP have on UTG+1? With AQ, he might have called 12BB or still shoved to 60BB anyway?
