I'm wondering how I can utilize these two hands to be more profitable. After laying down my fourth consecutive QQ today, I've begun to question just how profitable QQ and JJ are.

I know it's in the poker bible that you must raise preflop with these two hands, but logically speaking, which hands are going to call a preflop raise against this? AA KK AK AQ AJ KQ etc. All too often when I play QQ the flop hits with an Ace or king it, and my villains bet away forcing me to throw it away, losing 4xbb, a potential straight hits the board and my opponents imply odds to me by reraising my BB like crazy, or a potential flush hits.

When I look at my winnings for QQ and JJ, I've basically just stole blinds, or some preflop calls with QQ, and I'm down with JJ.

Thoughts?
