Pre Post DISCLAIMER
I'm aware that most situations require knowledge of the table and players and any advice is highly dependent on that information.

This is kind of a general question and its something I struggle with somewhat but how do play AAxx preflop when neither are suited and your low is bad (4-7). An example hand might be
A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Assume you are in EP (UTG)?
1. Is it worth while to raise 3x-5x BB preflop to narrow the field or at least identify the solid hands?

2. Assume flop comes up something like Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] with 3 callers preflop? Do I bet or check?

Just looking to glean some tidbits from the more experienced players.
