Well, you could look at an odds table or make some calculations that are a little too big for my brain.  If you don't get an answer soon, ask me and I'll do the calculations.

The chances of any given hand being AA are 220:1.  If you're at a ten handed table, there are ten shots for AA so about 22 to 1 odds against [B][I]anybody[/I][/B] having AA.  If you don't have it, then the chances of somebody else having AA are about 25:1.  If you have a pocket pair, that always slightly INCREASES the chance that another player also has a pair.  It might seem to you like somebody always has AA against your KK, but in reality it doesn't happen more than one time in about 24+ at a full ring table.

The chances of you having KK AND somebody having AA is even worse.  Your chances of having KK are only 220:1, so you have to meet that criterion before the second can apply.

My degree of confidence in this answer is about 75%, so I welcome well-reasoned corrections.
