I think this hand causes me a lot of grief sometimes (and lost bets). How do you all play it?

I will raise out of any position with AKo in an unraised pot. In a raised pot, I will usually cold-call a raise (should I three bet here? I love not showing my strength right away, flopping an ace, and then finding I'm against AQ or AJ), occasionally I will three bet.

With AK suited, I someimes call, and sometimes raise from an early position. If raised, I usually three bet. In late position, I always raise in an unraised pot, and almost always three-bet in a raised pot.

On the flop, if I hit an ace or king, it's usually pretty straigt-forward. My problem is what to do when you miss the flop? I usually bet out, or call a single SB to see the turn if someone bets before me. Is this play any good? Should I raise, fold, call?
