...I often have trouble playing the good pre-flop hands (AA-QQ mostly) when the flop doesn't hit me.

'Nuff said about the hand, what I want to know is exactly how you expect the flop to hit you when you're holding a Broadway pair? If you can't play AA-QQ unless it hits a set, then you're in serious trouble.
