You can shove your pocket Aces on prefop but it possible you will get called by a donk and get beat. I have tried to play AA so many different ways. Probably have a 50/50 chance with AA. Play them however you feel best.

it depends on the scenario.. no u don't just ship allin unless its final table and your in a bluffing position. But if someone else is allin in front of you the only proper time to fold is when your playing an event that credits top 15 or top 30 or top 10 with a token/coupon or all the same prize pool.. at that point if your near the money it could be beneficial to fold and just let the other players bust each other
I go all in... Of course pocket aces win big pots. But often they win small pots or lose big pots. The reason is simple. As you should almost always raise them pre flop, you will face few opponents, who will fold if they miss the flop. This leads to winning many small pots.
I dont usually go all in, but ill raise pre flop 3-5 times the blind.
depends on a lot of things; what type of opponent(s), cash game or tourney, early/late stages of tourney, bb left, etc
but in general you need to try to isolate one player if you want to go all in preflop.
slow playing is scary. the more players in to see the flop the more chance you can lose with pocket aces. If I can get it down to no more then 2 other players I might slow play. its no more risky then when some donk calls you all in and they have like 6-9 off suit and catch 2 pair. Its all a risk thats why its called gambling
depends on chips in my hand, if low i will all in , if high i will raise to 3 times.
On Pokerstars if you play on cash tables and go all-in with Aces you will win,but on tournaments if you go all-in and get called by sh!t hands like 72,82,84,etc. you will lose :)
pocket AA is very strong card untill u dont see the all 5 cards so try to be aggresive.
yeah lets not scare everyone away on an all in but dont slow play either
