First of all, you should NEVER be playing any hand the same way every time you get it, you will become too predictable. Now that saying "You either win a small pot or loose a big one with aces" is a horrible statement to go by. It makes you play your aces scared when you have them.
 
Yeah I slow play aces. The best spot to slowplay them in my opinion is around the bubble of a tournament. The bubble is a spot where most people are stealing blinds and trying to take down pots preflop or get it allin preflop against one opponent. If I get aces UTG or in MP I may limp if I know a player behind me is apt to raise. Also along the same lines, if I raised preflop and got one caller, and the flop looks relatively dry, I may check to an opponent I feel would bet into me. I usually wont slow play aces much past the flop, so in the 2nd example where I check the flop and the villian bets, I come over the top right there with a big raise.
 
You can't be scared to play aces slow sometimes, and you definately want to play the aces in a style where you will get the best value from them. They are the best starting hand and you shouldn't be content with only picking up the blinds every time you get them.
