What to do with AA/KK

[girgy44]

I would just like some fresh thoughts on how to play big pairs. I am playing online at UB and I am usually raising about 5 to 6 times the BB. I personally do not like the limp, re-raise in any position, and I do not know if it would be profitable to lower my bet a bit to induce more callers to enter the pot. I think the problem with this play is that it allows pp's or suited connectors to have better pot odds to catch on me. I do have the discipline to lay the hand down when I think I am beat, but I just want to know the best way to vary my pre-flop play.

No need to vary it if you are raising your other hands the same amounts as AA and KK.

my normal play is raise 4xBB. if there are some limpers, i'll make it 5xBB. UTG i might limp if there are some over-aggro's so i can reraise.

it depends on what stakes you are talking about here.
