Calling an all in with KK may be worth it, but if you're the one betting, why not make sure there isn't an ace on the flop first?
Pure gold. 
So the takeaways in my mind are to seek out tight/ passive players and exploit them mercilessly. When things get tougher or cards get cold, I assume you then have to start putting them in the middle.
However, I sense that part of Michael is frustrated by bad beats lately. I just don't see a way to totally avoid putting your chips are risk if you want to win, and you aren't always going to be able to make someone fold. So I couldn't help think of Pyroxene's great post on the topic:
