UTG QQ KK AA?

Raise 4-5X BB with AA, QQ, KK UTG. Do the same with AK and AQ. Any time that you raise, make it 4-5X BB. People will start playing more hands against you when you have a standard raise because it will be more difficult for them to put you on a hand.

I would heed caution in raising AQ 4-5BB in EP, I have lost more money by building pots out of position with AQ only to hit TPTK and losing my shirt.

I think what Poboy meant was to have a stanndard raise. That is, whatever his raising hands are from EP, make it the same amount regardless of the hand. I myself would probably just limp A Q from EP. What I wouldn't is make a weaker raise with it because it's a weaker hand. There is nothing sweeter to have an opponent that bets 2xBB w/ T T-JJ, 3xBB w/ QQ-KK and 4xBB w/ A A
