I had this situation just last night, in a live game. I was in late position with AA and raised preflop after a few people had called the pot. Everyone folded out, leaving the blinds and a few bets, and the player preceding me said that he would have stayed in if I had not bet as hard. He said he put me on rockets because I pushed too hard, and he was right.

So, that experience told me that betting big with rockets in that position bought me the pot, but it also killed the action. If I had slow played, I would have brought in a bigger pot.
