is there any amount preflop that doesn't turn my AA face-up?
Wednesday night 1/2 at my local VFW hall. Villain 1 is the same guy from this hand. Villain 2 is also a student, full-blooded Italian. I didn't ask, but he's got action on the Yankees game and thinks using the big gay slur is appropriate, so I think I'm safe in my assumption. He's also possibly tilty, specifically at me, because I sucked out a chop in a double-board PLO bomb pot a few hands ago. He's got about $250 in front of him, I have about $450, and Villain 1 covers both of us.
Preflop: I raise black AA in EP to $13, Villain 1 coldcalls next to act, Villain 2 makes it $50 two to his left. I don't really want to just call preflop, but I also don't really want to blast it multiway, which leaves a small raise as the only real option. But I'm afraid min-clicking will just telegraph that I've got bullets.
First-world problems, right?

Just ship it. You would with AK.
We are never minclicking a 50 if it were 250 effective.
With V1 in the hand, i would make it 125$
Probably just tank and than nervously put all your chips in.
I might just flat. I kind of want V1 in there -- or if I'm running really well, V1 will raise 😉 If not, go $125. Shove is OK, but I'd hate for V2 to fold. $125 gives him hope or will make him shove himself.
You can't flat 3-ways. I wouldn't shove. It may seem obvious you have AA, but low stakes players have trouble folding JJ-KK/AK.
