Open AA like you would open any strong hand, do not try fancy play, like limping and overlimping.
Unless you have specific good reasons to do so.
Know to fold the hand if you are likely beat.
It is just 1 pair.
So if likely straights get there, likey flushes and likely 2 pairs, do not keep pumping in the money.
If you face agression, especially from multiple players, realize you are most likely beat.
Just fold.

actually, AA wins around 80% of the time when shoved (do not shove them though unless you got 5-bet or short stack), if not shoved depends on the post flop play, where you mostly should tend to be aggressive, because your result is minimum an overpair, but, again, the exact actions will depend on your position, stack size, your opponent tendencies and what kind of board you get. Be more aggressive IP and on dry boards, check-raise often OOP and so on. Also AA blocks two aces, and can be a nice flush bluff sometimes

looks like the bronze level tourney was yesterday because of a technical mistake, and today is the silver level freerol

Sometimes it just seems that way, because AA is a hand that you will often win small pots with, but for the times that you lose with AA, they can be bigger pots.

Absolutely true. I complained to my son that I lost KK more often than winning...he suggested that I keep track on a spreadsheet, so I did...my findings were that I won over 75% of the time. The problem is that many times, I collected only the blinds...BUT, when I lost with KK, it was often huge pots.
So, if you think you lose more often than win with AA, keep track on paper.

If you are sure of this, then I congratulate you
You can make money by simply folding a hand that always loses. What at first glance seems to be a disadvantage can be your advantage, think about it

I just busted out with AA. My opponent raised pre-flop, about half of my chip stack, so I went all-in. AA vs KK. I hit a set of aces on the flop, but they completed their one-card flush on the river. A slipper went flying at the wall!

The old saying goes: It's better to win a small pot than to lose a big one.Ups and downs are what keep us alive. Give me a big pot every time, win or lose.Aces probably won't win a big pot. They'll win a lot of small and medium pots. Remember, someone has to call you, so they have to have a hand, too.
