Cash table situations with AA, one caller

Ok, I'm just learning cash table playing at .25/.50 NL Holdem.
These are all fictional hands, but in each you have played the same way with AA. You're in the BB, you've raised to 4xBB with AA and have one caller. Each time after the flop, you've bet half the pot, and he's put you all in for your $25, your total at the table. He is loose-agressive.
1. Flop is AJT rainbow.
2. Flop is AJT suited
3. Flop is KK9 rainbow
4. Flop is J92 rainbow.
5. Flop is J92 suited.
In each, do you call, or fold. Remember, your entire buy-in is on the line.
I just want to see how my answers match up. Will post mine at the end.

3. Bet the pot.

4. Bet the minimum. Reraise if raised.

Hand 1 = All In
Hand 2 = All In
Hand 3 = All In
Hand 4 = All In
Hand 5 = All In

Think T1 has got a bit confused if I am reading this correctly. You either go AI or Fold.

I don't think I am pushing all-in on scenario #3 with 2 Ks up. I bet the pot and see what happens.

re: Cash table situations with AA, one caller

Why are you pushing all-in on #4?? If you have A-A, you want callers with J-9-2 rainbow. Try to suck some people in!!!

your not pushing, he's pushing, every time you need to decide whether to call the all in

1. Flop is AJT rainbow. - Call, easy. It's unlikely he has you beat and even if he does you have redraws.
2. Flop is AJT suited. - See 1.
3. Flop is KK9 rainbow. - Read-dependent, I certainly don't think folding is terrible here. Against a relative unknown I'm certainly tempted to ditch it.
4. Flop is J92 rainbow. - Call, easy.
5. Flop is J92 suited. - Call with the A of the suit, probably call without it too, though it becomes a little more read-dependent then.

Sorry! I guess that's why I should read the entire post!

Easy:
#1 call
#2 call
#3 fold
#4 call
#5 call unless the person pushing plays ultra tight

2 and 5 are the only ones i'd be watchful when playing. 3 would be fun depending on who you are up against. all in on 146 every time. big RR [or all in] on 3 most of the time. 2 and 5 i'd need reads

1) Call
2) Call
3) Fold
4) Call
5) Call with the Ace of the suit because of the added flush odds for you. Fold without it because of the added flush odds for him, unless he is read as "maniac" not just "loose".

4. Flop is J92 rainbow.
5. Flop is J92 suited.
1. Easy Call, even if he called your raise with Queen King you still have outs
2. I would have to call here also, once again you have outs if you are behind
3. This one is read dependent as others have mentioned.. 9/10 it's a call for me though
3. Easiest Call of the scenarios mentioned
4. Definite call if I have the Ace of the particular suit on the board..I think i'm calling regardless though

So to clarify all my choices, Call on all of them..

Was gonna write a response, but found that Chris read my mind already.

I call and take my chances on everything but #3 (which is probably the only hand villian is bluffing at)

I'm going to agree with the above posts. I'd type more but everything above is basically the same (not quite but basically).

But for the record in case you care, I would say call, call, consider fold, call, call.

Thanks for the replies, guys.
Just for the record, my answers were:
1.Call
2.Call
3.Fold. If he's willing to put that much in I'd say he had a King.
4.Call
5.Call
It's nice to know that when any of these situations arise then at least I'm playing them like you cash table players play them.

re: Cash table situations with AA, one caller

all of those hands seem to have draw possibilities or top pair and probably a Q kicker or so. the only one i'd think of folding is the KK9 because the only hand he can really put you all in with is a K. cause QJ and J10 would be just calls, and that is really a great spot to reraise and if called then you have outs, cause there are so little outs, i'd probably fold that 2 out of 5 times but then again it depends on how you feel at the time and how easy teh table is. if the table is weak then i'd fold and save the money to play pots ahead
