If you have KK on button and 2 opponent left on sb and bb.
The chances of them having AA is just 1.7%.
But it just keeps happening.
I raised from button he min raised.
I smelt AA but couldnt really ever fold KK preflop ever in my 4 year long carrer.
What should i do?
Need advice big time!

You can't fold KK to a min. 3 bet because they easily could be doing it with 99+. Sounds like some kind of downswing that you just play through. I have not had KK run into bullet in forever.

4 bet for sure. Most players will not think your that strong as your raising from the button.

You have KK in a cash game. I'm personally never going to fold this. It's the name of the game. You can always rebuy in cash. And plus online poker algorithm are written to induce action. Any bot can see that.
Has far has advice. Try to get to the flop cheaply and then fold if you're certain it's AA. Try to even get to the river checking it down if you only have a pair of KK. A pair is still just a pair no matter the cards.

Never folding kings, variance can hit anytime obviously, but that is a easy spot.

If you're scared of AA while holding KK, or if you think you're 100% sure that someones holding AA while holding KK, just keep calling, not to get your chips in jeopardy. but i wouldn't fold KK at pre-flop with a 3bet/4bet in play

Definitely stay in that hand and call a bet, but you have to read your opponent's betting style versus the community cards to know whether or not to continue. Although the chance of opponent having AA is 1.7% that person could have an AK, AQ, A+anything and beat you out depending on the flop.

Your perceived ranges might mean you run into AA pretty much always vs regs if you don't ever value 4bet bet wide enough or incorporate bluffs into your ranges. If you only ever 4bet kk+ your likely to see AA far more often as people gather reads on you.If it's on an anonymous site you just have to accept coolers as there is nothing you can do to stop it.

Late position just get KK in without second though, only thing you should be thinking is how to build massive pot preferably pre. PS. In average you even win every 5th shove against AA :D Going from '**** shit I'm screwed, what?!? I won!' - is great feeling.

I wouldn't change a thing. I don't like it when they do have AA there but it is rare. I don't fold in that position and always play them like I have the best starting hand at the time. Good luck.

As you are on the button, a 3bet is likely, as you are expected to have a wide range and try to steal the blinds.
So you're up against QQ+, maybe AK, or a re-steal.
Depending stack sizes, icm and player image you normally call, 4bet or shove.
Fold is rarely a good move, so call at least and you might get another K on the flop.
Worst case you lose, but that's a cooler, part of life.

note: chance of AA might be a bit bigger, its roughly 0.5% per player, but reduces when another A is issued, so on a 9 player table, there might be a 3% chance of someone having AA.

It probably just seems like you always lose with KK in that situation.

Our minds do tend to remember the negative things that happen in our life a lot easier than the positive things.

We've all had numerous hands where we were an underdog and somehow went on to win the hand, just as we've all had numerous hands where we really should have won but didn't.

Just accept that you may have run into a bit of bad luck lately, but over time, that has to change.

I would play the KK's and if an Ace hits the flop and they bet I would fold.

At the minimum in position like that you have to call the min raise and see a flop. Re raising him back would also be viable. If he pushes back/or shoves you have can re evaluate; but building a big pot while holding KK in position has to be a good thing.

poker is very treacherous. because his probability of winning and of 50%, in that case I would increase the blind. Hoping for the flop, since the flop has a small chance of bringing one more K and the same possibility of making the other one fold at the table with two pairs, so I would continue to increase

This is not the question you need to answer because you already know the answer for it.The real question is what made you think like this, this is a scarcity mindset, and it does not only affect you in this specific spot as you might believe but it actually gonna have a negative impact on your whole game.Do the right play, which is to 4bet for value, and if they show you AA 5times in the row, just go for 10 and be calm, this is what i do now, i dont care if i see AA this is poker its a part of the game, we play for so long and we yet to overcome mental leaks like that. human are strange :D.

If the flop does not have an ace, then you need to continue raising. You can not know what the enemy has. He can have a set of small cards on the flop. If every time to throw out the QA then why play it. The only thing that's possible is not to throw a high raise. But then you can lose the fish.

Make note for that player that he minrise with AA in SB vs BTN sit, next you will know that if he 5bet AI you should fold. Keep raiseing agains other players till you face again with AA and make note again.
Do not fold KK against unknow players!

That's a pretty bold accusation you have there. Care to share your proof?

Just a conspiracy theory. No proof but it makes as much sense as tables being populated with "bots".

This hand is difficult to throw, but if you 3bet nit that maybe there is aces, usually in such situations it is read. Very often, such situations are on the bubble.
