Defiitely ship it, this is a great opportunity to double up. I know its still early in the tourney, but if you're dealt such a huge hand this early, you gotta go with it. You are a favorite against all but one hand, and while he may have AA, the odds are in your favor to move all in and win a nice pot.

Thats what I figured. Took the 4b as an overbet. AA would make more sense bw 400-700 (not that I'd fold in that case either)

Dont fold KK in the early stages of an MTT ever, seriously.

agreed. The only time I ever see folding KK preflop is maybe for ICM considerations.

The odds of being up against aces is so low, that you just have to take in on the chin when it happens.

Why would you do that???

Never fold KK pre-flop - the circumstances under which you would do that are so rare they are almost non-existant - and none of us are good enough to know when that is.

I've folded KK pre w/ 4 ai's in front of me. Happened at a nitty table in a large buy in mtt.

edit: not saying that is the right thing to do everytime your faced with that scenario but it was at that time.
