More preflop, $7-8. Just play some poker on the flop. Bet out strong, 3/4 - full pot, and take it from there. If he's drawing, you want him to stay in for the wrong price.

$7, $8?!?!?! Are you kidding? 16x BB is WAAAY more than you should raise here.

That being said, you shouldn't go all in here. The only hands I think that can rationally call you are A) a set B) a flush C) a lower overpair. Only one of these do you beat.

A pot size bet should do the trick here.

minraising preflop is tipping your hand without actually getting much more money in the pot. You want to get more of the effective stacks in preflop with AA & KK. I would go to at least $6-7

Villian open raised before hero was first to act. Therefore I am suggesting reraising more preflop, not open raising.

$6 is the minimum you should raise in these spots. You're be surprised at all the players who'll call $10 with all sorts of pretty stuff in this spot. Also, by looking like you don't want to be called you can induce pushes from KK/QQ/AK.

If balance worries you, play a suited connector like this sometime. A big 3-bet and follow-through on the flop will take down lots of pots in some games if you do it every 200-400 hands or so.
