How do you play AA in early position?
How do you play AA when you get it under the gun? I have seen two distinct styles of play on this. One is to do a big bet (5x BB or greater) and hope that you get only one caller. The other is to simply call, hope somebody else raises before the round is done, and then you shove all-in on top of the raiser. If you don't get an opportunity to shove before the flop, then you're in trouble and should probably just try to get out of the hand for as cheaply as possible (unless you hit a set on the flop).
