You know, I have to disagree with folding the AX suited - I would actually argue its a much better hand under the gun IF you think you can get in cheap.  The hard part about playing this hand is letting it go if an A comes out (which you should).  The way to play it is to look for an 8 high board (giving you best kicker), two pair or your flush draw.  It does take discipline - because your A alone is no good - but on those rare times you flop/turn two pair for cheap, you have a very good chance of extracting a whole lot of chips from the guy with A and another face card.  
 
I would only attempt this deep stacked (in my experience, a hand like this only gets a good flop around 1 in five times), so you're going to fold the flop a lot - which is why I say only do it if it's cheap, and you have a DS.  Most times that I get it, though, the pot is around 20 BB, so I think the investment is worth it.  the other 4 times you're gonna be 2nd best hand - so understand the odds that you're getting and be ready to fold.
