Where I play, a relatively standard pre flop open is $10-$12. When considering my opening bet size pre, I also consider how many limpers are in the pot. Give or take, I'm thinking I start at $12, and add a BB for each limper. This can be adjusted for hand strength, and table conditions, yet generally that's a pretty good benchmark to start with. So here, if I'm understanding you correctly, we have 8 limps to you in the cutoff.
If that's correct, I'd be thinking $28 pre, 1 BB + $12 for every limper, and then adjust for table conditions and "stickiness" of limpers. If the table is "standard" with stickiness, I'd adjust to $18-$20. If very sticky, then seriously I'd go $28 anticipating at least 1 call. That may sound absurdly high, yet the goal in my mind is to get one caller, or no callers. And, at least where I play, set-miners (mostly 66+) and AK will call.
AA is great heads up, even 3 way. 4 way it starts to get cumbersome.
4 way, maybe bump it up just a bit. Kind of nitpicky but I'd go $25 into $38. They're still gonna call IMO.

I'd go $55 into $83. No FD is shaping up, but the board is straightening out, and overpairs to the board still call mostly IMO.

Man, now that is weird. Check call, check call, donk, is usually the supreme nuts. Wondering though if V could do this with TT+? Feels like 99 to me. I could be way off, but that line from V is so strong I'm thinking my AA just shrank hard. What are we beating that takes that line?
Don't be too hard on yourself, we're all here to help each other, and learn. Good hand to post IMO.
