Do having two pre-flop AA cards always play for everything??? What are your ways of playing “AA”

Best starting hand in holdem, true, guaranteed winner, not so much. I would caution against using the words always & never in your poker thinking. Game decisions are seldom that clear.

99% of the time I'm going all in

Sometimes I throw myself to the line so as not to allow them to set up the game, however there is always someone who pays, and so they beat me with low cards.

Just fold them and weep

Push all-in preflop because I have the advantage

Best hand preflop

It depends on stack sizes. Pushing all in with 200BB is poinless. You can be beaten by any two cards someone alse is holding. Or you can just take the blinds. Raise big and try to get value postflop or lay your hand down if you feel your'r beaten. The only time I would got all in preflop is when I'm reraised.

No. It's the best possible hand preflop, but AA could become drastically worse post-flop based on certain runouts and lots of betting. Pocket Aces is still only One Pair, so there's many times you'll want to fold AA. If we are only talking about preflop, then even here, there might be rare cases where folding AA is correct. Namely ICM implications or a satellite event where on the bubble and only advancing matters, but there's no benefit of first or last to advance.

I just played a hand with Aces , I raised 2bbs , BTN reraised to 7bbs, 3 players went all in, I make my call as well. At the end 4 players including me with around 160bbs, two players has AJo, flop came K J T, turn is an 8, river Queen. Two players won the hand, my Aces has a chance to triple up but at the end river came a queen. That’s poker

Exactly…this is the one time that you know for sure that you have the best hand…post flop, things can change…as a previous post says, 99% of the time all in…as already mentioned in prior posts, if you are on the bubble or you only need to finish in the top 10, let’s say to get a satellite ticket, then that might be the time to make a good raise, without going all in.

I've already responded to your quastion but I've just noticed that it's you who wrote it. I know you from tables, a few days ago we even played at the final table at WPTG. Next time I'll try to say hello
