AA never wins when you bet slightly less than 3x BB. Haven't you ever read Sklansky? Always bet 3x or more with AA or be warned!

...should raise the same amount with every hand, the only differance in the amount u raise preflop hand to hand is your position a the table...big raise=big hand? good idea? no.
