After a 4 bet preflop barreling flop we went all in in the turn an A in the river he had ATo with no draws for him in flop and turn it was frustrating

probably not, especially in a nine player table where the aces are spread out

It would depend on the situation, close to the Bubble I suppose I could possibly fold K/K after all in a Tournament with a large enough prize pool I have folded A/A in this situation, and I was proven right to do so as the Bubble boy went out, leaving me in the money and the person who took him out would have beaten me as well.
Early on in a MTT If I was struggling then I would possibly call an all-in with any Pocket pair, I once heard 2 players talking about how one had folded Pocket Deuces pre-flop, and had he called he would have won the last hand, I said "Boy if I had Deuces I would have been all-in." They both laughed and I was dealt Pocket 4s in the very next hand. I shoved and one asked "did you get your Deuces?"
I just replied "Oh this hand is better than Deuces" I got one caller and I turned my 4/4 over and said "this is twice as good" I beat the caller who had A/K suited and I took a well needed double up. Even the caller was laughing after I beat him but at the end of the game I had some fun, and to me that is reason why I play Poker!

When the fun Stops, STOP!

Only when I was distracted by something and my time bank was running out. Lol. It's the same with AA.

Hi,

Pair KK is very very strong cards.
Depend from that if the preflop game is all in from other player before me or just value preflop betting.....its never good idea to lose opportunity to see the flop with this strong hand.
If i am last to play pre-floop near never fold.

Even in a situation where there are 5 players at the table, everyone has more chips than you, and everything happens on Bubble?:D

Never. This is only possible on buble. Just if you throw it away, then what hands to play on?

At the beginning of the tournament, if there are three all in front of you, then you can throw the kings.

Hi, I'm pharaoh ramses 2 at the tables and if I receive a pair of kings pre-flop, it is more than certain I will redouble the bet without stopping to think if there will be aces since it is a very strong hand and that is usually won, for me the kk are excellent to double bets; Greetings. pharaoh ramses 2:icon_fara

HI

I go with all the chips, or raise very strong to protect my hand.

If I play in a tournament, then KK never fold. When I play cash games, against a very tight player, I can fold KK to his reraise.

KK they move very often, so I usually go to 4-bet, and then I see if it makes sense to push. And sometimes you have to reset it, although it's such a pity)))

Maybe sometimes is not good decision for me but I have never fold KK. These is not poker code in my blood:). I always want to see flop.
