A few probelms about playing these types of hands from early position is like you said your OOP on the following rounds.

You must know when to release these hands and even if you hit TPTK. Read one of the pooh-bah posts about cbets its a grat help as you shouldnt do it everytime, it depends on a variety of situations such as opponents, board texture and what not. Dont feel you need to cbet everytime especially if there is more than one caller, the more callers the more I would not cbet unless connecting with the flop.

Something that I have been trying lately and having good success is to havea delayed cbet. This is somehting that Daniel Negreanu is known for as it still reprensets strength but it will also help with pot control on hands only with TPTK.

Another poster already discussed it but play your hands differently, mix it up. Make the same raise with low PP's and when you hit they are well disguised and often opponents will play back assuming your play an unimproved AK. Vary your bets at times, somtimes limp, minraise just about anyhting to become unpredicable. However be careful about the bet sizing and make sure you can release when in trouble as most opponenets won't even know what your doing.
