Only on the money bubble and it is going to be a multi way pot and I could be eliminated

No I have never folded this hand since the AA encounter is very small and the worst hands will pay for all we lost, so this game is profitable!

I already ran, when I was on the bubble and with a smaller stack than the villain. But as a rule you have to go all-in.

It depends a lot on the situation I find myself in. For example, if I have a respectable stack, we are about to break the bubble and my opponent goes all in with the probability of leaving me eliminated, I think that I would not think twice to fold, otherwise, I have a small stack, they are about to eliminate me and my opponent goes all in, I don't think twice about calling. Regards.

Nah I will definitely have to eat those and believe me I have, just can't fold them. But If I have a decent stack and getting close to the money, I think about it for about a second.

I don't fold in cash games, I fold in the late stages of tournaments...

I can only concur with everybody saying: no, unless, it's a 3-4-bet pot right ahead of the bubble. But I would sometimes fold KK at a final table against a very tight player that has me covered if the alternative is shoving and there are at least several significantly shorter stacks around that are likely to get busted before I do and get me a ladder up

its not exactly a black or white type of answer. Yes, I have folded Kings before both in cash and tournaments before. Was it a good fold overall in long period of time? ABSOLUTELY NOT! but was I correct for folding Kings? also yes!
The crazy thing about poker is, there is never a right or wrong or black and white answer for every situation.

In a cash game, I'm never folding KK preflop (I did it once because I was convinced a complete nit must have AA. Someone else called, and they both had QQ...)

I won't fold it, 2nd better hand, mean that there are just 6 other combos that beat me. The only time I'd fold them is when villain is sooo tight, that it's obvious an AA. If he has something like 10% vpip and 1 to 5 pfr, well I'll fold to an all in. You will get a lot of AK QQ JJ even TT in those ranges, that it's valuable to go for it.

Yes I fold KK. When we face 4th raise preflop it is always AA. In my opinion if player has stats someting like 20/1/1 and he shoves to my 3bet i fold KK for these type of players do not press 4bet button often.

I would have to say no. It is just too strong a hand.

Pre flop there is no way I`m folding Kings, there is only one hand that could beat you that is AA, if the opponent has AA is GG but pre flop is hard to just fold it...

Bubble is the only reason for me to fold KK's, and I've done it few times.
Otherwise I see no reason to fold it preflop, that would be just bad gaming imo. :)
