Your suggested style of play is reasonable, assuming stacks are *shallow*. You're suggesting to pump up the AA to be the best high hand, but it is very difficult to showdown AA if stacks are deep, unless the table is very passive. Obviously, if you could get allin (or close to it) preflop, that would be the way to go.

Otherwise, you are looking to induce other players to put money in with inferior hands, while you have a hand that can stand a lot of action. If you narrow the field, there are fewer people that can have these inferior hands. Think about how much money you make with flush over flush, or when you hit flops with nut low + flush draws and get multiple callers.
