Hey everyone,
I know that KK is a Non-Fold Hand Preflop in almost all the situations, but in this spot I had
too much doubt about this.
I have too much history with this Player and my Calling Range when anyone 5Bet All in is
basically KK+. I think He knows it, so I think He can adjust or not. What is your thoughts about
this type of situation?
Villain is a Type of Reg who is a little more Loose than normal. His range of 4Bet+ is QQ+/AKs

I can't see folding preflop unless you have a sick read.

Why is your calling range vs a 5bet KK+ do you have a 4bet bluff range ? If you 4bet balanced we can expect villain to shove QQ+ AK maybe JJ+ AK sometimes wider.So we have 40% equity or more vs those ranges and so we should be able to 4bet call QQ+ AK in most situations profitably.I mean you are saying villain knows i only 4bet call KK+ so it shouldn't be a huge surprise to see AA if villain has that read on you.

If the opponent is only shoving AA, then it's obviously a fold. But since they are also probably shoving other hands such as KK, possibly QQ and Ak and perhaps some 5bet bluff hands such as A5s, you should find calling with KK profitable. This is just an unavoidable cooler IMO, especially in a 6max format for 120bb effective and you will likely always stack KK when you hold AA yourself so in the long run these huge coolers will balance out.

IKK+ and some AKs / QQ and appropriate bluffs should probably be your 4Betting range so when he shoves you should call with KK (you have to). I don't really understand the question? If you play GTO being exploited is not an issue, if you think that he will only be shoving AA then sure, calling KK would be stupid, but if he does only shove AA the 4Bet / open will generate so many folds that it will still be profitable.
