Trapping with AA vs QQ-KK

What do you think of this move, My notes:

Decided to trap post flop vs his (likely) QQ-KK... may of been better to trap by leading out at flop hoping for a re-raise to build pot? ..Then easier to get AI at turn. This is a great way to take a stack off someone with KK that won't get AI PF as the trap diagrams I have overpair (lower than theirs!) till I c/r or re-raise. Is this worth the risk of a Q or K flopping and having tricky desicion wrt op flopping trips?

just had a simular situation, as he was short stacked I flat called preflop to try and trap for his stack post-flop, but the turn really screwed me up:

is this rubbish play or quite a good approach considering he's short stacked?

im a big fan of using AA even KK (if short handed) in this manner. I found it more and more difficult to get opps to commit their stacks preflop. Therefore im trying to induce them into flopping something or seeing a flop they like so that i can take maximum reward from it.
If we assume you only get busted something like 1 in 8 for the set which means you lose then probably most of the time making the play is +ev imo unless you can get them all in before the flop.
my experience upto 100nl has shown that opps dont expect you to cold call a preflop reraise with AA, they expect you to push and are wary of it. keep making the play imo

edit i say this also because we seem to have had a lot of people talking about folding KK preflop in all sorts of situations, so my thinking is let them think you have a weaker PP TT/JJ or even AK rather than the rockets and let them hang themselves so to speak

if you didnt play the hand that way you would of still lost it, he would of called an all in flop raise anyway........

lol i love how he bets less on the turn when he hits the set

I have 2 ways I play AA/KK. Fast and faster. I also don't min-raise a whole lot.

ya i dont see what min-raising acomplishes unless you are trying to draw for cheap or something and dont want them to raise more
