Depends on who else is in the pot...
If im last to act and there are a few limpers and there is a loose player on the table, ill normally chuck in a strong raise hoping to bring it to heads up and get paid that way.
If im in a tight game, I like to limp with them and look at a flop, If you hit your set, ride it all the way to the bank and hope some nasty flush or 1 card straight doesnt show its face...

it depens on your position, if you are in a late position and there are a lot of limpers just shove them all in and hope you get only 1 caller,if you are utg limp and hope there is a raise then reraise to alin. if you are in midle position and there are some limpers then raise 7 or 8 times the BB. thats the way i play them its long time ago that i got AA

It never happened to me. I usually go all in because i started to get sick of being dumped from a tourney by a three of kind deuces. But, being the first hand of the tourney, i think i would give it a try and make slow play, with mini raise or something like that.

yes the position ans style of the table is important. On Loose table i raise on alls positions, and after flop its possible to slow play if the board is not so dangerous to let the loose player bet, than i re-raise. But on tight table, i think i need to play a different strategy to be sure to get money, and this is the position to decide what i need to do. start position: I make a limp in, i let another player raise for me and i just call. If nobody raise i must prepare me to fold if the board is too dangerous. Middle position; i raise like i had AK or AQ, because not enough player after me to be sure they gonna be raise, and i dont want to let the big blind hit something with 42 :/ End position: thats depend what is happen before me, slow play if there is just one player before me, and make a strong raise if there are too much player.
AA must be slow played if this is a heads up situation. if its not, AA must raise or re-raise to make fold all middles hands

make a raise and play along raising it as it goes.. making an all in in the first round just scare off and limits the pot i guess if people have throw a few raise or call in 2 or 3 rounds, when you go all in, they are left with to go or fold.. that's probably when you 'catch' them..
