Couple questions on how you guys play the following.... I'll preface this by saying I've been getting KILLED lately... although thank god I pulled out a lot of winnings prior, so Im still up a lot in general...

#1 Hole cards... AJo, flop comes A, J, X suited, and NOT the suits you have... my first instinct is to bet BIG, to push out anybody on a draw, but then I lose possible chips... I think in the long run it's better to win a little, than possibly lose big?

#2 Hole cards... AK (Suited or not) usually I'd raise 2x BB (Maybe this is wrong too?) most people fold... couple callers... flop comes out and I COMPLETELY miss it, if a moderate bet/raise comes out, Im mucking it, unless I sense weakness, but thats tough to do online etc.

#3 Mid pairs (As of late - 9s for me) 9s and lower Ill usually limp in, to see a flop see if I hit the trips, but if I dont, Im usually mucking them, unless a really low flop comes out, there are checks all around etc. I hate raising pre-flop with these, because so often Ill get called with AK, KQ, etc. and lose on them, I don't think theyre very strong. 10's I play a bit more agressively?

Thanks for any input, I know thats a lot, but oh well!
