Is it a good idea to get it in with aces with no low?

You're right, I'm terribly -EV and a losing player living in a fantasy land

Can't be a typo because of the separation of a and o on the keyboard. Must be that "aut" sounds like "out." OK... that makes sense to me. In school I was not good at foreign languages. I'm interested in how people think in terms of using words outside of their native language (in your case, I presume Dutch).
How does one holding AAJ9 outplay (or autplay, if you like) one's opponent? I think I can answer that.
Basically one outplays one's opponent by making better choices on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th betting rounds, after the flop, turn, and river.
I don't think outplaying one's opponent is hand specific. You simply make fewer mistakes than your opponent.
When you're last to act, you bet when you should bet, fold when you should fold, raise when you should raise, and call when you should call. And if your opponent acts first and does one or more of these incorrectly, then you have out-played your opponent.
When you're first to act, you bet when you should bet, check/fold when you should check/fold, check/raise when you should check/raise, and check/call when you should check/call. And if your opponent acts last and does one or more of these incorrectly, then you have out-played your opponent.
Did I omit any possibility? If so, it was an oversight.
How does one holding AAJ9 outplay one's opponent? By watching one's opponent make mistakes and not making mistakes oneself. That's the general idea, anyhow. I think it sounds easier than it actually is.
And if your opponent is a better player than you are, and is less likely to make a mistake on the 2nd, 3rd, and/or 4th betting round than you, ripping it in on the 1st betting round may be your best chance to win.

sounds pretty clear cut and dried, if your opponent makes more mistakes post and on the turn getting it in early seems like your losing a ton of value and money.
