Default Home Game Bubble Hand w/AA

Don't worry - this isn't a "Should I Fold AA preflop" question.

It's more of a how to play AA here thread.

This was a 10 person home game, we only pay out 2 places 70% to first, 30% to second.

Blinds are 150/300.

We are 3 handed, approx chip stacks (before posting) are

Button - 1000
Hero(SB) - 4500
BB (Villian) - 4500

Button Folds, I look down at A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and just call. BB raises to 800.

What's my best move here?

Notes to use: This is a home game group that gets about 8-15 players a week, there are about 20 people in the group thta shows up. Out of the 20, I would list both me and the BB as 2 of the top 3-4 players, meaning we both know about the bubble, 2nd and 3rd level thinking, etc.

The BB got an early chip lead, and has been playing the bully most of the night. I was down to the felt with 6 left, but have recently been running hot and built myself back up to a virtual tie. I knew there was a greater than 50% chance that if I just limped he would either raise pre-flop or bet out the flop to matter what hits.

So
1. Was my pre-flop limp okay given my read?
2. Now that I have been raised, whats my best action?
