Re: NL25 AA facing rr on the flop
I'm not particularly formulaic about my pre-flop raises. The goal with AA is to get as much money in pre-flop as the market will bear. Err on the high side. You'll get more action than you would expect. I would make it $2 to go here, but you could make it $2.50 and get callers. I like $ because it's easy to type. Big pairs love big pre-flop pots. Loose games love to try to call to pick off big bets. The odds are on your side that you'll win this more than they do. So, your job pre-flop is to wing chips out there and punish the guys who limp call with off suit 2-gappers.
On the flop, bet the full pot. You have a pot building hand, build it. When the villain min-raises, he has JTo or some such trash as often as he has you beat. I'd call this and check/raise the turn. You're ahead enough to be all in here. Expect to have to reload once in a while.
