How do you play your strong hands like AA or KK?

I realized I made a mistake by pushing all in in that position, but how often do you come across QQ or KK vs. AA? On the flip side, if I slow played it and just called, I would have been pissed seeing the flop and thinking someone out drew me with Ace rag (assuming they'd make a big raise to which I'd fold and would have never seen that he had AA).
Mind you, I came back from $150 in that tourny and won 1st place.
