How do you play these types of hands?

Hands like A/K off or suited...usually if I am faced with a raise or re-raise and a call of that raise or re-raise...you have really two options...re-raise or dump...I usually dump with say a raise and a re-raise ahead of me...

if you are first to act with say A/K off or suited I usually play this hyperagressively although online I have been called with trash that has hit more times than I care to count...

what about hands like A/Q, A/J, etc...suited has what a 3% advantage over off suit...but these hands are so easily dominated when you are faced with a raise or re-raise...

It amazes me when you have that small pair and you flop that set against A/K and people over play it...love that situation...

what say you guys...sometimes I get passive post flop with these types of hands when I miss the flop...just curious...

If you are faced with a raise and re-raise you shouldn't even think about playing AQ or AJ, I mean what hands could you possibly be ahead of?? Of course like everything how you play it would depend on the situation, who did the raising/re-raising, stack sizes and the like. Generally speaking if I raise early with AK (suited or not) and get popped and re-popped I'll just fold and wait for a better situation of course that could change under certain scenarios.
