Do you manage to keep your chips when you have KK and the other player AA and by what signs can you recognize this?

rarely for me - I don't typically back down with KK preflop. Sometimes I spike a King

This is a cooler moment. You just play your game.

Its just one of those situations, If your aggressive you will lose more times than you win. Make them spend a little and hope to flop a K

If they have the AA's then they have it. I am not folding KK to anything pre-flop. People usually play AK, QQ+ the same way and if that is there range, then my KK is a 54% to 40% favorite over time. Yes, I will lose, but on that range I am a winner over time. If I take out the AKos then it is 48 to 44 in KK favor. So seeing that, folding shouldn't be an option unless you know exactly they have AA.

If the villain has it AA and you have it KK, then if you have to call first, then you can raise it from the minimum stack if the will all enters. So you understand that he has AA Then your choice is to suicide or fold it.
And this is your luck If u call all in and win

No way to know for sure they have AA, I aint ever folding KK, I've had horrible gut feelings in the past and been right about it but its just a what can ya do situation.

I lose almost every time in that situation, never folding kings. It’s a cooler, and I can’t do anything about it.

But it rarely happens...I believe all pairs have a chance of winning...And in percentages of course aces...

I get about 50/50 on average if I go all in. So I prefer to play couples

Even if you never get away from KK preflop, its not going to an issue, because your opponents dont get away either. So its just a wash in the long run. But in some rare situations you can consider folding KK preflop, if there is crazy action in early position, and especially if you have HUD-data pointing to a nitty opponent.

you're probably talking about MTTs but if we're talking about micro cash games, especially nl2 and nl5, you just can tell that someone has AA by the way they play.

I bet on kings, I have hope in the deck there are 2 more kings or a flush. All is not lost.

You can only guess what the enemy has. I can only fold two kings if there is an ace on the table and the opponent is active.

in general there is no sign that can help you avoid this situation and not waste your chips. anything you can do to fix it. it is to accumulate a stack which will allow you not to bust because of this confrontation and to continue to play the part in the hope of being able to raise your stack again.

before the flop it is difficult to bounce that hand just depending on the situation, but normally there is nothing to do, a simple crash is not won
