If you want to get an useful answer - try to tell us a situation.
Blinds ? Position ?
There are so many right ways of playing AA and also so many wrong ways to play it - it all depends on the situation

As a general strategy you should usually think to raise pre-flop on a full table and if the flop is a little scary look to take the pot early.
Always keep in mind they are only a pair.
There are many factors in playing them as hinted in the above post. If you are short stacked, get all your chips in the pot pre-flop and pray.
Is there a specific area in playing them that you are asking about.

hiwell actaully it depends on what kind of game and stakes.. like if its a micro tourney like a cheap tourney i would just go all in becasue someone will call you and if you just call or raise 3 or 4 times the blind it seems like you get 3 or to 5 callers in micro games..

it is interesting...and too often, new and/or inexperienced players try to insta-shove with AA and even as low as TT, thinking its better to get no action.
But if you cannot learn to play these hands for the +EV they are...and even learn to fold them post flop, then you just are not ready to play serious poker. You must learn to get the most equity out of your hands...and not be afraid of getting them sucked out on.

what entry fee, MTT, sitngo, cash table ???
unless your experianced, you should never limp with them, no matter what.
Some scenerio's you've been in would make it better to give our opinions, so many things after the flop determines what you can do, also the betting pattern of the other(s) in the pot etc...

To go along with what they were saying...except when short stacked...and im talking less than 15 big blinds....you should not be opening for all in with AA. It is the best hand you can get preflop and you need to get as much value from it as possible.
On the same note, you cannot get married to it post flop either. If you raise and get three callers and the flop is KQJ....bet to see where you are, but be certain that if you are raised...you are most like beaten at this point.
Learning to fold AA is a really good lesson in learning the right way to play AA overall.

The best strategy is not to have a simgle strategy. Poker is a highly situational game. What that means is that to improve your chances of success, you want to make effective adjustments according to the specific situations you find yourself in. And the things to consider go well beyond what your cards are - such as position, chip stacks, what action has preceded your turn, and the tendencies of the other players who are in the hand or can act after you do.
