What do you think about shoving or 3 betting Pocket Aces preflop

I’m definitely raising AA so I can hopefully only play against one player, 3 betting, 4 betting etc, I want to get that last raise in if I am deep stacked, if I’m not deep stacked then jamming is the way I would go. I wouldn’t slow play AA pre unless a raise came from EP and it folds to me and I’m the BB, sometimes I’m just calling here but mostly I’m raising.

Def 3 bet at least. Deep stacked can be wasting them shoving unless called although also need to be able to get away from them if warranted.

Obv 3 betting if already raised, otherwise simply raising with them.

It depends on context.

AA is a premium hand (in this case, the objectively best hand one can have preflop). By that logic, we should be looking to value bet and this includes re-raises and All-Ins. The objectively best hand preflop isn't invincible though. As we get deeper and deeper stack depth, then All-In with any hand preflop becomes more and more dangerous.
