would you ever fold KK preflop ?

generally i would fold depending on the buy value and the value of the prize and also by the amount of chips if my stack had enough chips to guarantee a prize i would not fold rather if my stack was in the middle of the players i would go allin for sure to try to double the chips

if I make a large rise and if someone goes all in without hesitation , then maybe, but I usual never fold and it depends on the type of reads you are getting. but usually No

I dont think i have ever folded KK.Only one hand better,so i probably would never fold them.

Many times, but in Omaha

Never my friend.

I don’t think that I would fold KK preflop. There are so many player who put all in with nothing. And with pocket Kings you want as much value as possible. Especially preflop because you don’t want to let somebody hit accidentally a three of a kind or two pairs without paying to see the flop. Lot‘s of hands will fold preflop if you trying to get value.

Would not fold KK preflop, second best hand and the odds are on my side

I can imagine the situation I would throw away ... but that hasn't happened yet.

In a cash game I wouldn't fold KK most of the times, at a tournament depends from the stage. If the tournament was at later stages I would go for it, considering the study of the game.

Hello good evening, if I understood your question well, you're talking about raising with KK pre flop right?
If that's the case, it's more than natural to make this move, if you're talking about getting a 3-bet when you do that, in my opinion the numerous factors to make a decision to call, raise or even fold.
Good luck at the tables!

Only in a satellite when I know that I have enough chips left to qualify. Or when there is the possibility of a massive pay jump.

No I did not. Last time I had a place at BB small just before money and the chip leader goes all in with D7. Yes he kicked me out with fullhaus.

What's the point in doing this in Cash Games? This is a strong hand and should be played for maximum profit!

I go all in with KK. No doubt. In every kind of tournament Hold'em.

I think depending how many players are shoving all in, weather i can cover the all in. If 4 or 5 people shove all in then its probably wise to get out and let them kill each other.

Hello friend, I would never fold with a pair of KK, it is the second best possible hand if they are going to win you that is playing

No, for sure

No I would never fold KK ever.

Preflop never folded KK, however raising and post flop, I folded sometimes KK due to the cards.

In a cash game I'm never folding KK. In an MTT it's hard to think of a folding scenario. Entering a a pot with 2 or 3 other players who have already shoved would sometimes be a mistake but with KK I like my chances because the others will often have Aces in their hands like AK or AQ. They counterfeit each others' aces and my kings are good. If there was only one other player who had been quite tight I might think of folding if the next pay jump was significant.

Of course! I also folded aces preflop and it helped me !!! So this is in order of substance !!!

never, there are so many players who push very loosely

If the last chair and all-in preflop are played by more than two players, I will fold it because sometimes someone can have AA or QQ, or AQ AK can open A and your king is not playing. I often see when someone plays with QQ the chance of a set is greater than that of the elders

It is difficult to imagine Preflop KK Fold. I did on a bubble and loss of connection. Hope many do not fold Kigs being afraid Aces).

no, pocket kings against pocket aces are two valuable hands wins whoever's lucky

I wouldn't give up, I would definitely go to any type of tournament.

If not on the bubble, then I see no reason at all to fold a pair of Kings, it looks very strange. Of course, if the goal is to reach the minimum prizes, then you can fold a pair of Aces, but this contradicts the probabilities in poker.

Never. at the very least he would see the flop. if it occurs all in the bubble it would evaluate the whole situation. but I probably wouldn't fold an all in.

I never fold KK in any situation.

Cardschat is a joke!!! Took away the one and only tourney for Canadians worth playing on 888. Pound sand cardschat. Last and final post!!

for me it is the other way around . i would rather fold KK in a deep cash game rather than in a tournament

This is a big mistake

On the bubble for one person to the money, if I have less than 7 big blinds, easy fold

It's never been like this, even when your intuition tells you otherwise, your brain doesn't give up, which often leads to decent losses, but this is poker, today you get into aces, tomorrow you catch someone on aces.

I don't trust this kind of hand but i probably never fold thid hand preflop.

I almost folded them in a live cash game once.. And the other guy DID have AA. About a $250 mistake...

In this conversation of never giving up that I lost in the second leg of the 300 yesterday, the guy went all-in with 99, I called with aa and he busted and I was eliminated, the next time that happens I will call again.

but i said in the OP that i dont mean bubble situation

would you fold KK in any other situation ?

Normal conditions of folding KK in a tournament even when bubble is not imaginable for me.

But when I am very likely to get a ticket in a sattelite I should be able to fold but it has not occured yet.

In a cash game I would never fold kk preflop unless I am playing with an ultra nit that I know can only have AA. In tournaments, if there are lots of people all in in a hand, I might fold so that I get better ICM

Can't think of a good reason to ever fold pocket Kings pre flop. If anything I would for sure raise some to keep the chasers out of the hand that might have to low cards suited,

Gl All !

Probably, in a small range of situations, but no in general!

If not a bubble time situation like you said, pocket Kings is a very hard hand to fold. No matter what, I'd see a flop, no way I'm folding it whether in a tourney or a cash game.

probably in bubble time if i'm out of position

If there's some ridiculous 7-bet situation or in a satty.

Those are pretty much the only times.

Pocket KK hold em, fold pre-flop, would have to be an outlier situation, on the bubble, big all-in from right player, etc
Omaha, though is a different story. Omaha is a drawing game, and a pair is not as draw friendly as a lot of other combinations.

Hello. If it means remaining in the tournament, such as a villain goes all-in, I may fold kings

Almost certainly not. It’s the 2nd best preflop holding in poker and has a legitimate mathematical advantage over every hand except AA‘s. Therefore, the likelihood you have an edge against your opponents all in range is too high

Good day!
I think yes, I could fold in some wild action, for example, 3bet, 4bet, 5bet push from opponents before my move. I think I can hardly ride in this situation better than 50%.
