Default AA on button, 2 tables left

2 tables left in a ~400 player field. Everyone folds to you on the button holding AA. You have around the same stack size as the SB and BB.

Do you raise 3xbb? (And hope to get called or 3 bet as one of the blinds may think your steeling?) Or do you just call in this scenario? Your viewed as a typical TAG player...

How often do you limp the button? If never, then limping is too suspicious.

Do you steal the button alot? if so, raise as if you had 82o and hope that's what they put you on.

I don't steal too much, usually when I have at least a Q+ or a SC 78 or above.... In this case, I have never limped into a pot from the button. It was either a fold or a 3xbb pfr.

Limping w/AA and the SB completing and BB checking can be a problem if one of them gets lucky and hits 2 pair or even a set with a small pp 22-44.

On the other hand, it may be a decent play if one of them cannot get away from their TP type of hand.
