I disagree with this advice:

If you're never getting action when you raise 6xBB, raise 6xBB with weaker hands and raise 3 or 4xBB with those monster PP's.

A non-2p2 friend of mine is always complaining about how he never gets action with AA. A lot of this might be selecteve memory. But I asked him about his betting patterns, and he said he likes to make smallish raises PF to encourage action.

We would like to think that our opponents are dull and slow on the uptake. We'd like to think that they are basically just disembodied arms trowing chips without regard to what is happening at the table. But they aren't. No matter how dumb you want to think your opponents are, they are paying attention, and they are trying to beat you. They don't want to lose to you, and it's not like it never occured to them that you might get AA, too. When you have been raising 6xBB all day long, and then come out with a 4xBB raise, don't think they didn't just notice it. They did.

The best way to get action with AA is to make the same raise with every hand.
