AA and KK after the flop: Where overpairs go to die

[Mike_25]

I often see otherwise skilled players muck up top pair hands post flop when holding AA or KK. Have you noticed this costly tendency? While overpairs are strong, players often overvalue them post flop, calling too wide and not raising enough as others catch draws. Have you caught yourself making this mistake and what changed your strategy? I'd love to hear from those who overcome this overpair trap.
