Playing Suited Aces in good (but not great) position

[mayesie]

The table seemed passive overall (though I've only been at the table for a short period of time). Nonetheless, I wanted to see if anyone thinks raising pre-flop is the better play here?

From the button or SB, I'm much more inclined to open for a raise. From the CO and CO+1, I tend to be more cautious. I even fold this type of hand from CO+1 alot of the time.

Post-flop seems standard (given no reads)
