AA or "When the Pot is Extremely Large"

I'd raise the flop, you may get MP1 to fold, CO to raise and now button is faced with a 3bet cc. Basically hoping for no cc's and folds/raises from your right.

Also you probably have the best hand so I like the value bet anyway. I'd start thinking about a c/r on the turn more than here.
