I try to play them the same way as most premium hands. I hardly ever just go all in. I open with my standard opening raise. I 3bet any opener usually 3 or 4x adding a BB for every caller. If theres a 3bet I 4bet 2x the pot or all in.
Even heads up AA loses 20% of the time so I just accept variance and try to get the hand heads up or at least limit it to a 3way pot.

With AA I give value to the hand in the pre-flop making a raise or a 3 bet depending on the case then it is necessary the information you can have of the table and the board to define what to do but the first thing is to give value to the hand in the pre-flop
I see in this thread people saying raise AA 5bb, 10bb preflop, and I ask myself who is going to pay such kind of raise. Yes I know somebody will pay, specially in micro stakes, but most of the time nobody will pay. Such a waste for great hand like aces. Collecting 1,5 bb with them is really big miss, losing a value and big chunk of chips. Raise them 2.2-2,5bb, and 3bet,4bet if someone raise before, like pros do. We don’t have to invent hot water here, do like better and successful players do
Old question and every time it is new for us).It all depends on the situation at the table, the depth of the tournament and your stack.They can be limpit you can go for everything and it all depends on the situation at the table.When you put first and raise, you can get under the fire of your opponent and this will be a good test of your strength.and if you immediately go with them to all that can not collect half.this is a game and you always need to think and make the right decisions.much of the game depends on you and your actions.feel the opponent and you will always be ahead of him.
AA is the best and worst hand at the same time.Worst because if you lose while you go all in preflop you always say I lost with the best hand.
When I have AAs I always take in advance these things.
What kind of pot is this?
Who is my opponent?
What is the texture?
Should I bet?
Did I face a raise?

it depend how you feel at the moment, and the tournament level.. You can try to fish at the first levels in tournament, but is always risky, at advanced levels with high blinds you must rise a lot or send all in depending your position, trying to get blinds or get a head up..
See, thats bullshit that you never win with aces, maybe its really big multi way pot and than you lose but heads up you should win most of the time. Sometimes a mistake who people made with aces that they slowplay them too much and get punished. Limping aces 4way pot will make you lose most of the time. Now you got all in situations and you won
