if you do fold to a big raise from the big stack, you've set some precedent for being pushed off a small raise.

Yes, you've set some precendent, but I'm not sure how much value it really provides. As Chris points out, with blinds this high, there isn't much time to be fooling around.

It's pretty unlikely that I'll try this play, get bitch-slapped by the SB, build my stack back up again, then immediately get AA before anyone is eliminated.

Furthermore, once I get my ass handed to me with a small raise, I'm pretty unlikely to try that again without the goods. If a good player, the SB knows this. I'm not going to keep giving away $1000 bets, so the next time when I bet 1000 with AA, the SB may smell a rat.

Or maybe he will assume I'm a moron (reasonable), and push. It depends, but I certainly wouldn't count on it.
