Default How to play AA in 1/2 pokerstars shorthanded ring

Got AA twice in an hour playing 2 tables of 6 handed limit.
Both times raised and reraised got 3 or 4 callers, two went to turn and one to the river with the straight.Both times my AA got cracked pot size was like $40 to $50
Guess I should only rase after the flop has no low cards and only face cards (KQAJ etc)
Bottom line is that AA is only about 30% against 4 callers.
what about slow playing the Aces?

even though AA may be 30% against four callers, it is still the favorite.. you should want to get as much money into the pot as you can, because you are the favorite to win.

i think slowplaying is the wrong thing to do--it's the best hand preflop so you want to get as much money into the pot as you can, you wouldn't want to let 4-6 offsuit catch two pair if he wouldn't be in the pot to start with, right?

Drop down in limits and learn to play poker. If you are keeping AA to the river in 25 bb pots where your hand hasnt improved, you have a lot to learn about postflop play.
