I don't seem to do well with pocket Aces sometimes, but I think it has to do more with your betting strategy. High poket pairs are extremely profitable, if you drive out most players pre-flop. In hands where only two people remain before the flop, you can expect to win with AA ~67% of the time. With 9 players remaining before the flop your chances drop to about ~20%. The amout needed to drive out most players, but keep one or two depends on the table. if it's a tight table, double the blind. If it's a loose table sometimes two or more will call all in.

This is a repost, but thought folks might get some use out of it.

Good post. In lower limit games I would at least double the big blind. If not, some players will think it worth their time to call anyway.
