to trap or push??

[wizard]

Is a greedy trap or a passive push the best way to play this hand? 70 left in a 580 player PP $33 multi. You are under average w/about 7000 and the blinds are about 200-400. You can fold into the money but, of course, are looking to go deep into the final table so cashing is a very minor consideration. You, in middle position, get AA and look up to find that utg, with his 10K in chips, has made a raise to 1,200. You just got here and have no reads but expect that this table is like your last and, at this point is very tight. You now want to play this hand and want to maximize the win but are unsure if you should push and go for the 1,800 or limp and try to double or triple up.

How should this hand be played?


Not an issue but I limped and got all my money in after utg bet 1000 on a 9 high flop. He, of course, held 99 so pushing is my only chance to win but.... is the potential return gained by limping worth the risk in this situation?
