I had a hand a couple of days ago where I was dealt pocket Kings and ran into pocket Aces. It went similarly to this, but different players and positions. A raise, then a reraise, then a 3-bet, etc. All the money went in preflop and I lost most of the money in front of me. I used to hear consistantly about never folding KK (and usually QQ was included too) before the flop at low limits. Maybe I just had the KK hand running through my head.
But I rarely see people stacking off with weak hands like AK or AQ or worse in these low limit NLHE games anymore(though I don't play too often either, especially NLHE). I can't think of too many hands I beat in the hand below where he will 4-bet pre-flop, only JJ and maybe AK suited. I did have HUD stats on the guy but I got overexcited by the QQ and didn't pay them any attention. It's not PT3 so they're not saved and therefore can't be used to sway the decision. But he wasn't doing anything strange that I took note of.
Maybe it's a standard push and I'll be thought an idiot for even considering folding but I would like some opinions nevertheless. Is calling an option instead of making the 3-bet? What could I do differently here, if anything?
