Just the question from the title really. Being the 2nd best hand you can get, would you ever consider laying this down before even seeing a flop? Below is the hand that made me consider this.
pokerstars - $0.02 NL FAST - Holdem - 9 players
BTN: 265 BB (VPIP: 0.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: -, hands: 3)
SB: 60 BB
BB: 150 BB (VPIP: 33.33, PFR: 33.33, 3Bet Preflop: 100.00, Hands: 6)
UTG: 100 BB (VPIP: 0.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 1)
UTG+1: 145 BB (VPIP: 28.57, PFR: 14.29, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 8)
Hero (MP): 200.5 BB
MP+1: 33 BB (VPIP: 100.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 1)
MP+2: 292 BB (VPIP: 16.67, PFR: 16.67, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 12)
CO: 143.5 BB (VPIP: 19.05, PFR: 9.52, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 21)
SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB
Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has Kc Kd
UTG raises to 2.5 BB, fold, Hero raises to 7 BB, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, BB raises to 24 BB, UTG raises to 100 BB and is all-in, Hero raises to 176 BB, BB calls 126 BB and is all-in
So I didn't have much information on either player, apart from that BB seems fairly loose and very aggresive in the hands I have seen. My other consideration was that having already doubled my stack, I had a lot to lose in this hand! Just curious whether everyone else would still be trying to get it all in the middle pre here.
Thanks!

So in the end both the other players had AA. A king came on the river, I won the pot and nearly melted with relief
