This is horrible advise...I agree with you, in most cases such hands as AA, KK can not be folded pre-flop, but there are situations when they need to be dropped, for example, when you play an expensive tournament at the final table, and you have a second stack, and ChipLider puts all in, in this case it is better to drop such hands, since not hunting to fly out of the tournament with the second stack.

Depends on the situation. It depends on the position. It depends on the size of the pot. If I chipleader I never fold.
I play pre-flop on KK or AA aggressively so that many players do not play in the hand and then I have a better chance of winning, when many players play and reach the flop, my cards may not play, but there are situations when you have to fold such cards , but most play when I play aggressively!
Do not forget that AA , KK , QQ and so on this is only a couple !!! do not need to take risks with them !!!
and luck was cast, KK is a premium hand, there is no way to discard it preflop

If one player shoves and other reshoves you can still go all in profitably. You should only fold it if you are very deep stacked or players are very tight and you know someone likely has aces.
Normally you'd want to play agressive AF with those hands preflop, yet the flop may make you fold the heck out. But about preflop strategy, I think a 5bb raise may do the trick... Why 5 and not 3? Well 3bb is kind of the normal raise, and with those hands you want to clear out any limper, as your pocket pairs are stronger if they go against one or two other players... A 5bb raise, on the other hand, will put the other players in a difficult position, they'll have to think carefully before paying, and you're not taking a huge risk as you would be taking if you were raising AI...
Obviously this depends on your stack, the moment of the tourney (if it is a touurney, as 5bb in a 1500 stack tourney in early levels would be a 100chips raise and many players would pay to see the flop for only 100c) and who you are facing in the table...

With these pairs AA, KK, pr QQ usually just raise. I do not go all in because I believe they are just pairs!
Depends - I don't make a specific move solely based on my preflop hand. If there are 3 all-ins and it comes to me holding AA, its a toss up for me to call or not. Much of this is due to online play and the knowledge that plenty of people will go all in with crap and hit. But normally no I will call
