I tend to play passively with KK or QQ. But with AA I play very aggressive. This strategy works for me, most of the time I'm able to avoid dangerous situations

Its true many players are married to QQ, although this hand is not that hard to fold for me. There are many instances that I should have folded with KK or AA, but I didnt. These are much harder to fold than QQ

Yes .Fold is only a button.Sometimes is good to fold AA Or KK .Specially if the flop or turn is full risky .

I don't understand this thread. Most of you are talking about AA, KK and QQ like they are untrustworthy. They are the three best hands in holdem! And the reason is that most people remember perfectly all the times they had a bad beat with these hands, but forget about all the times it wins you big stacks.
AA, KK, QQ are supposed to win you the most money out of all your holdings, so playing passively with them is going to be a serious mistake.
Sure you are going to get into bad spots with KK badly dominated by AA, and bust tournaments that way, but that is just going to happen sometimes. And yes, folding with AA, KK, QQ postflop is perfectly fine if the board is not at all in your favor, but playing scared poker with the absolute top of your range is a BIG LEAK.

AA never fold preflop!
KK fold only on bubble (2times bubble boy with KK against AA, fckng set up)!
QQ fold easy!

I know the feeling, yesterday all-in with KK and somebody called AA on my and I was gone :( Depends on position where you are in the game with this hand, especially when you go all-in.

Its all depends on situation and opponents game. Agree with higher answers that QQ easily to fold when goes all-in from tight-player, KK harder and I had so many situations when all my intuation advices me that I must fold them and there are Aces of opponent, but I still goes-all, and there was not surprise to saw AA agains my KK.

AA do not throw out, everything else on the situation.
