The biggest hands I have lost have been pocket pair over pocket pair.  Ugh.  Of course, the biggest hands I have won have been pocket pair over pocket pair.
 
One thing to keep in mind, while KK is the second best hand you can have preflop, it's still just a pair of kings.  Same holds true for JJ.
 
You can't be afraid to fold what you think is a big hand if you think you could be beat.  In live games it's easy enough to wait for the nuts, and take money from the weaker players, while seldom getting involved in big pots with the bigger, tougher stacks.
 
And remember, a flop that JJ covers is also a good flop for QQ, KK, and AA.
 
Good luck, I remember my first live experience.
 
It was at the Excalibur in Vegas for my 21st birthday . . . (about a week after, actually, so we could make a gun show in town) - it was a 1-2 limit game, except you could bet 2-6 at any time.  I forget what the exact term for it is.
 
It was basically a bunch of tourists playing cards.  I played some limit after that, and then started playing NL at my friend's home game.  I still occaisonally play limit.  But only at the Fitz and only when I'm drinking.  I just like getting the pissed off look from old guy at the table because I check/raised him on the flop and bet him off his hand on the turn with air.  "You folded $4 into $20 because you thought I beat you?" *Exposes seven high*.
 
Baaah!
