Default Not capping AA preflop 30 60

Ok flame away, I thought try something new and not cap AA preflop.
Little background: I have open raised my button every time and SB has three betted about 75% of time and I have just called.
Now I got lucky and picked AA, so I thought to play little games and try to get more value in later streets.

I have a feeling that opponent is tilting a little, and play his hands too agressive, but is still capable of folding.

Ah question was: Is it ever correct not to cap AA preflop, since I have seen in couple of occasions lot of flame in this forum for people who dont cap AA preflop every time.

Headsup, with position in a battle of the blinds is about as good as it gets. Basically you only wanna do this in headsup situations, because if there are 3 or more people you are losing too much equity by not capping preflop, and can't make it up postflop.

looks fine to me. Youve got several hands with this guy in the same situation, I'd definately play this one the same as all the others PF. I think you'll get more expectation post flop if you don't alert him to the fact you have something worthy of a cap in your blind steal, when the last several times you havent capped.
