AA Raise or Slowly Play

I think these are all good that you can stack an opponent with an over pair, but after the flop playing AA for stacks is also pretty bad in a LIMPED pot. K4 can hit 2 pair or pocket 2's can hit their set, just why are we allowing these players to see the flop for free? I can't count the number of times that the SB has limped AA in a bvb and cannot recall one time that I lost my stack to them (but plenty where they have) because when I have K4 or 94, I and a lot of other players are not going broke on a KT3 or 962 flop, but will most certainly be playing for stacks when we hit a stronger hand like 2 pair, trips/set, even straight or flush. AA is still only a one pair hand after the flop. This sound just like slow playing top pair with AdKs on a AcTc4h board. Still only 1 pair and not a good spot to let someone hit their 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 12, 13 or 14 outer.
"Always" may have been a strong word, but I certainly would say "MOST Always".
Slow playing AA seems to be what someone waiting for only premium hands would do, since they are going to only see them seldomly and want to get paid when they do. If you are raising your fair share of pots (stealing/restealing), you will get a reasonable amount of playback when you do get your premium hands. Slow play? without a strong possibility of someone raising behind? ewwww....
Most pro poker players say rarely slow play aces. But it really depends on the situation and i always seem to get more action when i bet them to be honest. But just wanted to say what i hear most pros saying. Todd arnold said to me at wpt bay101 event he said I wouldn't slow play aces if it was just me and the bb too many things can go wrong and you put yourself in a bad position post flop trying to figure out where you are at. and that is a good statement right there
