Preflop play with big hands in NL 25

I'm considering re-evaluating my play on the big 3 hands: AA, KK, AK.

Currently, I'm raising with AK to my normal raise (3xbb or 4xbb). I find that it lets me win with continuation bets a lot of the time. But if an Ace or King flops it's hard to get paid off.

With AA or KK i'm torn between limping or raising in EP (UTG, +1 or +2). If I'm on an aggressive raising table I'll raise if the seconds column on my watch reads <45, and limp otherwise. In the case of the tight table, the number is <15. If I'm re-raised, then I will raise all in with AA or KK.

Is this a good way to play these hands? Is there something better I can do? Bear in mind I'm playing NL25

Cheers,
