How do you guys play your kings or queens, as an aggressor, on a A high flop?

Seams like every time im the preflop raiser with KK, an A will come on flop.
And it messes me up, because i dont know how to play it...

Callers usually have A in their range.
So if i always go - cbF; xT - then im just like an open book.

With only two players to the flop, I'll bet, but it's "one and done"
With 3 in, check/fold seems prudent

Pre-flop I would raise more for value without position.
You can easy make it 8bb against loose passive players.
Now 4 way you should give up. Decent change 1 of them has a ace and it's really hard to improve you're hand.
Also if you are up against a draw those players aren't folding.
