Default Folding AA on the flop

I can't seem to fold AA on the flop. On Card Runners GP talks about not folding AA for one buyin on just about any flop without a super solid read and even he probably would not lay it down at small or mid stakes games.

On the other hand, whenever the money gets in on the flop I find that at least 3/4 of the time I'm up against a set or two pair rather than a lower overpair, top pair or draw. It could of course be selection bias but I really don't think so.

So, my question is, assuming the flop action goes something like:

Hero Bets $11
Villain Raises to $26
Hero Reraises to $85
Villain Pushes (apx $200 total)

and the board is not paired and you are say 30/20 and playing a typical 25/13 type player who is reasonably aggressive post flop, how often are you folding to this action. What if it is paired? Obviously every situation is different but think about how often you have laid this down without lots of history and reads vs villain.

I'm guessing that this is a necessary evil with AA and that folding it in non-extreme cases on the flop vs 1 opponent would be more of a leak then getting it all-in but I just wanted some feedback.
