THe only question I have is about your first line.

It seems like it would be beneficial to lead the turn, normally with AA in a raised pot because it seems like most players have a hand to call a turn in that spot if they callled the flop. If it was an unraised pot, it seems like you;re either way behind on that turn or ahead and your oppenant doesnt like his hand, so check/calling the turn, leading the river seesm to extract more value. The only downside is if you are behind, check/calling, leading river costs you more money, and you likely wont draw to the best hand with just AA. Just a thought.

How is it a form of pot control?

On the turn, in the same situation, if you were going to bet/fold to a turn raise with AA anyway, how does check/calling theturn/betting the river keep the pot smaller??? It seems like unless you had an intention of calling a turn raise, it stays the same amount, but you miss out on a turn bet if he checks behind.

I would just like an explanation on how this is a subtle form of pot control and when/who to use it on.
