i agree with the idea of not slow-playing aces. just last night ive got a decent chip lead in my home game (5 players left). i get dealt aces on the button, raise the pot 4xBB so ive only got two callers, one being the BB (big stack). flop comes 8c-Ah-5d. not really worried about the wheel considering my pre-flop raise, so i check-call. turn brings a 10c. BB bets, next guy calls, i raise, BB calls, other guy folds. turn brings a 2h. BB goes all in, i call, he was holding 3c-4c. if i had shut him out on the flop and taken it right there he never wouldve saw that club and stayed in the hand with a flush/straight draw. there was already a good amount in the pot and i never put him on 3c-4c when i raised 4xBB ($80). i got greedy and wanted more, and ended up getting chopped down hard and never really recovering.

as far as low-limit home games i think the solid player is the best. playing only premium hands, rarely chasing unless odds are in ur favor, but also playing the hands that u do play aggressively seems like a good formula. at my weekly home game the winners are usually either myself, my buddy who is also tight-aggressive, and a maniac whos just plain crazy but when he gets chips and power its lights out. a good book to read is "Championship No-Limit and Pot-Limit Hold'em" by T.J. Cloutier and Tom McEvoy. both seem to be preachers of patience, dicipline and observation, setting traps but knowing when to go for it. its a good read at about $25.
