This question obviously assumes that we are playing against a good solid player who also takes us as a good solid player. When I become a huge stack at a table and there is one other player with a massive stack I dread a KK vs AA scenario.
I was watching poker after dark and Phil Ivey decided to not 5 bet KK to Patrick's 4 bet with AA. When asked why he only called he said that the stacks were too deep as both Patrick and him had bought for 500k. He said that if he had 200k he would have shoved.
The flop came QJT and was a major action killer. In the end Ivey made a straight and bet the river which Patrick called.
I was watching a tutorial video from Daniel Negranu and he said that one should never feel bad about losing their entire stack pre flop with KK. It is generally true yes but we got to have a limit isn't it?
So how deep would you say the stacks should be before we should get a bit cautious with KK? I am not talking about folding but playing defensively. And I would say we should always be 4 betting KK but if we are facing a 4/5 bet with really deep stacks then we got to slow down a bit.
