Possible to fold KK pre flop?

I imagine that most other people on this site have been where I've been. Holding King King preflop and about 90% sure that someone else in the hand has Aces. EVen with that overwhelming sense of certainty that I'm beat I personally have never laid down pocket kings preflop. I'm interested in both the odds involved in this phenomenon and also people's personal feelings and opinions on what they would do in a similar situation.

funny I just lost my huge stack like 5 min ago with KKvs AA I KNEW he had AA and I wouldnt fold them.

The problem with having KK preflop is when you have that feeling when someone reraises you and you know the results are not going to turn out good.

Nothing you can do, have to take the loss.

Never! But I have lost so many hands with KK. Of course I don't recall the ones I win so...

It's probably stupid to throw out kings. I never do that. Even against aces, they have a chance to win.

It is a difficult decision, but KK does not fold preflop, there are many variants by which you can take that decision

yup deepends at tournament stage u BB balance ....

Its hard to fold, I never did.

To fold pocket kings pre-flop is possible - at least in theory. If it is a fight of several re-raises, which ends all-in from the opponent, then it's worth stopping and making an important decision. The probability of getting an ace on the flop is dangerously high. Determine during the betting the strength of the opponent's hand - this is the key to success.

I do not remember time when I folding the kings. One day I folded pocket aces, for some strange sense of danger. Then I did not see the flop and the opponent got 25% of my stack. I do not do this any more.

It is possible to fold pocket Kings. Everything is up to you and with your mind in that moment. Sometimes some people know their opponent has AA and they find really hard way to fold their pocket Kings. So folding monster hand is not a bad move if you don't feel good about that hand, even if they bluff you, you don't need to feel bad. So folding monster hand pre-flop can be really hard but you can do it, and you must do it from time to time!
Good luck to everybody!

I'm not sure that I can fold KK. It is very difficult for me.

Hello! The last time I had a KK came this scene. UTG call, the button go all-in, and I go all-in to! I suspected that UTG had AA but actually had AK. My chip stack and UTG stack were almost equal, the button was around 5K.

Hands like KK I wait for whole hours in a tournament, I do not want to fold it before the flop, not even !!!

Not easy

I don't fold KK's preflop. I have seen players fold it only to be shown that the KK's were ahead. So, I don't fold KK's preflop. If they have AA's then so be it.

I don't think I've ever folded KK preflop. If you're folding KK, there's not much left that you will play is there? You can't really "know" for sure that an opponent has AA unless you've got supernatural powers. Play KK because it's the second best hand there is.

Unless it’s a high stakes poker game I’m not going to fold preflop. The odd of the villain having AA while you hold KK is less than 5%.

I can't fold KK preflop , seems to me like a huge misplay . 2nd best hand in poker to throw away cause you're afraid opponent/one of opponents have better hand or you gonna get outdraw , not in my world !


bankroll

I try to never go all in pre flop. Folding a monster pair isnt going to happen preflop.

There are times I can see doing it though like if your in position and 3+ people went all in. I can see folding the KK. There are other things to consider though such as the playing style of the other player (nit or lag).

Think last time I went all in preflop was when I had AA. Turns out villian had AA as well. Well the board flushed and turned a split to a win. So you never know what could happen.

I think I've only ever folded KK 1 time and it was to 3 allins ahead of me, 2 super deep stacks and I had nothing invested. It's possible but only under extraordinary circumstances. And yes I was right.

I have folded queens preflop on the bubble but kings...I don't think so.

Pocket KK is second best hand to see plus it has equity of winning AA I think 1/3 times or so I have read. I haven't folded KK even If there are multiple callers. Great hand has made me lots of wins and few losses..

Once in the weekly tournament pokerstars for Bronze Star, I was on a bubble, and to get into prizes I had to fold the pocket pair of KK on the preflop. It was a difficult decision for me.

In Sats yes, Especially If you have the seat locked up by folding and a stack similar to yours Is shoving A.I and playing like an absolute Nutter.

Also the only other time I'd consider ever folding KK Is In an MTT where the "Min Cash Is a substantial amount to you and you free-rolled your way Into the event".

The last and possible circumstance Is If you have the "Soul read on a certain Individual that you have played with countless of times and you know this person only does this when they've got you with AA and are hoping you respond by doing this or that".

It is difficult to throw the KK, I always keep this, if an A goes on the table bad luck.

Never fold KK pre flop

Not for 100bb and if it's extremely deep 300bb or something i wouldn't stack off pre id play postflop.
