Agreed, these hands are preflop hideous monsters that are profitable to any player. However when they go postflop, and the players are not All-in...  then experienced pros with shrewd postflop skills have the edge. KK+ can lose a lot of pots for amateur players who don't have board texture and hand reading skills. It's important to note also, that pros are LOOKING for players who are raising with nitty ranges like KK+. This is because they know that novice players are unable to release these hands postflop. So therefore the pro makes more speculative calls against Nits/Tags. They do this in late position with hands like 22-66, 87s and 53s etc..  which can flop concealed monsters or strong draws. They will then normally semi-bluff raise to move the KK+ off its hand on the turn or river. OR they have hit their hidden draw already and are now raising for value. The big pair will not have much of an idea where it is at, and amateur players will not be able to fold most of the time. This makes good regs a lot of money if they have hit their draw. But so many "Planned" situations like this give the impression that Kings and Aces "are destined to lose". This is not the case. What happened was, you were being studied and watched closely, and your raising range was obvious. So when your Kings or Aces "Lost again" you were simply outplayed by good players who have a thorough grasp of implied odds, ranges and board/hand reading.
