If I play aces I prefer betting all the way.
I would after the flop make a bet of around 40% ( so you can see if just call or re-raise )
But in this case after the turn I think you can only fold the re-raise, it does not look like a bluff to me, and because there was not high betting before flop anyone with low pockets or suited-connectors can still be there I think.
I believe AA is best before flop, vs 2 or more with bad flop is really a tricky hand.
So what did you do and how did it turn out, I am curious now ;)

You made a good bet in the Turn, considering the cards on the table 7sTcTd8d and the BB's raise , you can think that BB has a strong hand like: T9s, JTs ATs, KTs or 88

I would do CALL and defend my AA; Maybe in the RIVER come the Ace that you need to win safely.

When I have AA
I would bet bigger preflop like 1000 (400).
I would have gone bigger on the flop intead of just cheking.

Thats my take.

Thanks

I'd be making a larger bet preflop on tables where your not getting reraised and players play really sticky. You have bad position with this hand. Yes you want to get value out of your big hands but in this situation your getting a big hand in bad position. Raise 3.5x-4.1x in you get called and you may have to find some additional hands to put in the range as bluffs such as A5s or 85s. Now once the flop comes out there isn't much your opponents can have but your still out of position with a very strong had. You should be raising like 60% pot to get rid of the gut shots and backdoor draws. Your trying to avoid the variance you can experience with these hand and the way to do that is betting. Now you may get more folds to thcese kind of bets and that's good because now you add in hands to bluff with.
