If there is no raise in front of you you raise 4 BB + 1 BB for every limper, if there was a raise you re-raise 3 times the original raise (or go all-in). After the flop you play it very aggressive especially if it's a draw heavy board (if you hit an A on the flop and there are no draws you could slowplay it)

Pre-flop I play aggresively with most of the hands I'm decided to enter the pot(about 15% if playing full ring game and 30% if shorthanded).So when I have pocket aces nothing changes.The only exeption is if playing with an extremely aggressive fish after me so maybe I'll just limp-in pre-flop and wait for the fish to raise for me.
Post flop most of the time I'l throw a well sized c-bet and if the board is scary I'll fold to a big raise.If not eg. K 8 4 rainbow and think that my opponent has a king I'll go all-in and he'll probably call,or rarely if he is extra aggresive i'll just call and let him give me his stack with his pair of king.

American Airlines AA is simply the best hand that you can have! I love this hand. Anytime you can lose because poker is crazy but i prefer have big pockets

Regardless of any preflop action ALWAYS fold preflop and wait for a better spot. e.g. 57off UTG. Then min raise every street and hope your hand holds up at the showdown.

i would say raise your standard pre flop raise pre flop when first into pot (mine is 3bb early position 4bb late) - dont make the common mistake and make a bigger raise pre flop with a really strong hand than you normally would if someone has already raised re raise 3 - 4 X their raise and hope they go all in altho at start of mtts id just push all in
post flop play exactly how ud play top pair top kicker in my mind i like to check raise if i put someone on top pair with good kicker
just recieved a bad beat with aces deep in a tournament

If I have AA, i would definitely go all-in. Make sure you will be the first to go all-in and you will have a 70% chance of getting the pot. Good Luck and see you at the tables.
