It all depends ... it depends on my situation in the stack, my position and how the plays are made at the table ... but in any case, only doubling would be little

I would never fold KK, when I hit KK, I go all in, easy peasy lemon squeezy, I don't like limit poker.

I folded it already in a bubble situation facing a shove from a tight player.

Almost never you should do that. In very rare cases if you have some sick read on some nit that overbet shove al in on your 3 bet, then maybe, but in general thats a bad play.

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 don't think seeing the flop will change the situation. If anything, it could just make things worse. So with KK going heads up it must be a decision made preflop for the whole hand, unless you smell trouble on the board.

I have folded pocket Kings preflop before. But this is extremely rare. Only recall doing this once. I was playing 50./1, I had $150 on the table, someone had me slightly covered. I raised to $3 UTG and MP shoved for $150 total. I had almost nothing committed, and did not know much about my opponent. This may have been a bad fold, and I never fold Kings preflop, but I guess I had a bad feeling here. What do you guys think?

Even in online poker sometimes i just know that my opponent has pocket aced so if it will make me broke in multiway pot when 4 or more are in i will fold my kings.

Yes, before the bubble or at the final table, if a player goes all-in and I have less stack than him, I can fold kings

Hello. If for some reason I want to stay in the game and somebody does an AI....I may think about it.

Pocket KK look so great. It's hard for me to throw them out on the preflop. Let them play. For good luck.

In cash games, have folded KK a couple of times, but as so often with these types of scenario-based questions/decisions, it was because of the specific situations at the time...

The only possibility for me to fold a KK pair before the flop is in the final table bubble, it is a very strong hand I prefer to take that risk as most of the times I will be winning and I will have a long-term return with a lot of volume since most of the Sometimes I'll be ahead.

It would have to be a very specific situation to fold kings pre flop. Eary in the tourney with many people all in i think i would fold.

During the entire game, I have never folded pocket kings. My raise is re-raised and I usually lose a pair of aces. The idea was to fold, only the excitement provokes to see the flop or to go all-in.
