Some great points have been brought up.  I agree that once in a while if you are in early pos and have a good indication that an aggressive player will raise the pot giving you the opportunity to reraise then it's okay to slowplay.  But you can still get burned by this tactic, especially if the raise you were expecting doesn't happen.  This is why I say once in a while.
 
I agree as a general rule of thumb you shouldn't slow play aces, you really do need the right circumstances.
 
I don't agree with slow playing them in the bubble.  I know others do and want to guarantee that they will make the money because this is typically an aggressive time for bigger stacks.  Aces do cracked.  Personally, I play to win, not creep into the money, as a general rule of thumb.
 
I do not agree with raising all in or half your stack each time.  Too aggressive, you do have the cream of the crop preflop and it would be nice to make some money with them.
 
I absolutely agree that you do need to shake up your play and not bet the same way with them everytime.  Depending on many factors, maybe you raise 3x bb with them, next time 5x bb, next time 2.5 x bb.  Shake it up a bit so as not to be predictable.
