Default (5.50) AA short stack flops set while blinds still low....line check

A hand from last night that's been bothering me. I don't remember my reads right now. I do remember Player 4 got his stack from getting shoved into twice while holding something premium. Did I maximize here on the bubble, or did I let villians get away cheap? Comments on all streets appreciated. (as always...I apologize about HH quality.....when someone creates a better WPEX SNG converter this won't be an issue)

$5 + $0.50 Texas Hold'em (No Limit)
5 seats max
Seat 4 is the button-Big Blind $25

Player 1 $1362
HERO, amount $1045

Your flop check is really bad. Bet close to the size of the pot. If you want to know how to play AA just go read the Desdia post & then do the complete opposite of what he does on every street.

Also, don't be results oriented.

Don't bet the size of the pot this is a super low limit. Your hand is GREAT, but you do need to fire in 175-225 to try and get some donk to come around. If they do you need to realize you are going all the way with this hand and you should be according to what you think will extract the most chips.
