I split it up into threes with a stress on the first note of each group. I don't know if that's a good idea, but it sometimes helps me.

A good one for getting down the rhythms is by Louis Bellson:

If you're looking for tunes check out the usual suspects for Odd Time - Yes, Rush, Dream Theatre etc

Everything breaks down into combinations of 3 and/or 2. It will depend on the signature, time and feel, but breaking it down is the best way to get a grip on it.
