Re: 50-100 shorthanded AA hand.
[ QUOTE ]
I'm only a 2/4 nl full ring player with little shorthanded experience. What is raising here going to accomplish? This is a way ahead or way behind situation. If he has an overpair it's possible he'll bet the rest of his chips if he is over aggressive as you describe.

I think the purpose of a raise here is to try and define BB's hand, calling here would give little information about BB's hand, since BB is so overaggro he could be betting just about anything, including another overpair, a six, a boat, a flush draw/straight draw, or total air.
And there's alot of cards on could come on the turn that you really don't like and make calling a big bet against aggro BB that much tougher, given his range of hands.
Although I admit, I'm not sure what I'd do, if BB just calls or comes over the top of the flop raise. I think that depends largely on the table dynamics at the the time and how much BB is backing down to resistance.
