AA  and KK players play cards slowly (they play passively, hoping to lure  an opponent into a trap) much more often than they should. The best way to win a big pot with aces or kings is to play them aggressively pre-flop. If I have been raised before, I re-raise each time. In this case, several positive outcomes are possible. First, you can find yourself in a very advantageous situation, when the opponent also has a hand, but not as strong as I have. For example, I have aces, and your opponent has ladies. If I make a 3-bet, then my opponent is likely to raise again, and all the chips will be in the center of the table. My aces will have an 80% chance to win a huge pot. If  instead I just call pre-flop, then I will have a chance to win a big  pot, especially on flops of type 2-2-5, but there are a lot of flops  that will slow the game. If the flop is a king or an ace, my opponent will be forced to slow down. The same will be true for coordinated and / or suited flops of type 7-8-9. There  is nothing more frustrating for a successful poker player than the  realization that he missed a simple opportunity to win a big pot.
