I'm not a huge fan of slow playing anything preflop where I think it is important to conceal the strength of your hand with consistent bet sizing. I never open limp so limping with AA might look a little suspicious and I certainly do notice this when other player who ordinarily open raise instead limp in.

I generally dont slow play post floor either but I do think theres value in checking the flop with a any ace after a preflop raise butconlyvon a dry board. The logic behind this is that most weak players with call preflop raises with a wide range of hands and will just fold to any bet on an ace high flop assuming they didn't flop some decent equity.

Checking the flop allows me to get some value from second or third pair that might otherwise fold to any bet. In addition, if I raised in late position with a weak ace, checking back allows me to see what my opponent does on the turn. As most people call with any ace and tend to check to the preflop raiser you can easily be dominated although I dont really consider this slow playing.

I do however cbet with almost all non made hands on ace high flops. This is inherently unbalanced but in most cases nobody is paying attention.
