How to play AA when short stacked

[Damian UK]

Hi all

MTT satillette to 20K main event, pays first 10, 11 left

I have the smallest stack of all with 6.5K - blinds are 1K/2K - also am on the 5 person table and hand for hand play isn't on so the blinds are coming around quickly (dont know why H4H play isn't on - it normally is)

have AA UTG other players in order

25K
17k (sitting out)
SB 14K
BB 12K

so with AA and needing chips how should I play this? All in and hope to get a caller? call and how someone limps in or reraises? or min raise to build a little value?

I am really unsure about this as I need to maximise it to survive - I will let you know what I did later and have you all critique my play (as you can guess still new to this game!! [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img])

cheers all
