Has CO been limp/calling raises or limp/folding against any sign of aggression?

I think the standard play here would be to iso-raise 3-4xBB and get the blinds to fold. If one of them calls, you shouldn't mind that too much either. CO will likely get his stack in on any flop he remotely gets a piece of given he would have put in about 35% of it PF if he calls your raise.

Limping behind seems dangerous and pointless here. Don't give the blinds a chance to crack Aces for free.

PS - What a weak move to open-limp away 10% of your stack.

Another idea might be to raise the CO all-in by making a raise to t1100.

The BB may interpret any raise as an attempt to isolate the CO with a less than premium hand. He may call or reraise a t1100 raise as readily as a T400-500 raise. The t1100 raise might get the BB to commit more chips pre-flop to what you hope is a doomed venture.

is there seriously a "i have AA on the button and there's one limper to me, what's my play?" thread?

I raised to 325 and everyone folded. I was wondering if there was another way to handle it since limper was short stacked and was scared by the raise which presumably went all his cips on the flop. Maybe miniraise or something.

Have had AA 3 times and got no action. I suppose that indicates you can play other hands like AA.

This will happen, as we all know. But the alternative "that sucks" situation is you don't raise enough, allow the blinds to come in, and have Aces cracked by 89s. Aces will occasionally win only a small pot... no way to really avoid this.
