The 2K hand we're playing 3 handed which makes the value of any hand/made pair postflop, go waaaaay up in value. The button can raise with any 2 cards so I can't really put him on a hand. Thing is, here, I really don't care what he has as long as he isn't raising me. I bet out to try to get a feel for where I was at in the hand. If he has an ace I expect him to raise me (though he didn't) and I would 3 bet and if he simply calls I put him on an ace, if he has two overcards he may call, if he has an overpair I expect a raise, I will 3 bet again, and he'll cap the betting at which point if I don't help my hand on the turn I can let my hand go. He just calls on the flop making me think my hand is good. I bet out again and he calls. When he calls again I put him on AX and I'm hoping for an airball river, which I get.
As to your "how to play AA" question you need to give me some more details, such as the game you're playing, # of players at the table, stack sizes (if it's NL), etc... I will tell you this though, if you're playing limit poker, never slowplay AA, that will be correct play 99.9% of the time, like splitting Aces & 8s in blackjack ;). In NL there will be times you can slowplay them, but until you start to have a feel for when those times are, I suggest you push them hard, play them aggressively.
