What is the best move to play AA preflop?

PokerStars - $0.02 NL - Holdem - 8 players

MP+1: 164 BB (VPIP: 30.00, PFR: 20.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 10)
CO: 103 BB (VPIP: 15.00, PFR: 12.50, 3Bet Preflop: 17.65, Hands: 40)
BTN: 100 BB (VPIP: 10.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 10)
Hero (SB): 127.5 BB
BB: 98.5 BB (VPIP: 0.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 9)
UTG: 120.5 BB (VPIP: 10.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 10)
UTG+1: 43.5 BB (VPIP: 20.00, PFR: 10.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 10)
MP: 110.5 BB (VPIP: 50.00, PFR: 40.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 10)

Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has A♦ A♥

fold, fold, MP raises to 3 BB, fold, CO raises to 10 BB, fold, Hero raises to 127.5 BB and is all-in, fold, fold, fold

Hero wins 24 BB

The thought of a cold 4bet is good. However AI is not. It will scare away too many worse hands. I would 4bet 20-25bb here. Because it is NL2 I think 4betting 25bb is the best option

I agree with bebab, except a lot bigger. 30-35bb would be better here especially at NL2 where it's renowned for misplays.
You have no history so can exploitatively bet bigger here.

I would 4bet also around 30bb out of position. I expect if you 4bet smaller you will miss some value and I doubt he would fold on a higher 4bet sizing.

Everything is pretty much said. 4bet is fine but the sizing is wrong.
