Yup thats what I wanted to write last night but I didn't have time. You play your hands like AA is invincible and a lisence to stack someone. When you go to a showdown the other guys hand matters just as much as yours.

The problem is that you don't really give the villian an oppertunity to tell you you're beat. A lot of the time a half pot bet on the turn will get raised by a set and you can drop it. I know its not quite that simple to drop AA because other things will raise you too but at least give yourself some breathing room.
