always raise, re-raise,re-re-raise, big bets, and be ready to fold.AA is in my opnion only a real good hand pre-flop after the flop there can be lots of danger, so win pre-flop, and be wary on flop ppl will offten chase open str8 and flush draws, but you should be all in at this stage if not get ready to fold.

AA is a huge favorit preflop against any other holding. So try to get heads up against one opponent with it. Raise always if you can. Getting it all-in preflop with AA if possible in cash games would be ideal. (Not in one step)
If the flop is seen after only your raise, be carefull if the pot gets huge. Your opponent either overvalues his top pair holding if he is a donkey. If not, he has you outflopped.

Well there are variances in playing Aces. Most of the time it is good to play them aggressive but if you are that moment projecting loose aggressive style then, depending on your position at the table, it can be pointless to put big into pot. People will just take it as another aggressive bet and wont respect your AA`s anymore so be careful when you are in early position playing loose aggressive style with AA.

It's not how you play, but how your poker rooms want's you to play... a machine can't generate random numbers... it may only make look like it's doin it but i follow a specific scheme.... you just need to evaluate the situation and compare it to the previous similar ones and most of the time you will do the right thing (even FOLDING!!! I know it's hard )

Yeah this is true, if all players on the table play reserved I would first check them out before i start raising because I'm scared to lose them all before the flop. On the other hand if the table is playing aggressive i'm raising as much as I can, always somebody that calls
