Folding monster hand KK on allin preflop

[shomy21]

It's really hard to fold KK in any situation, I never fold KK even I "know" that he holding AA.

In long durations tournaments with short stack, for example, those hands mean a lot.

So many other hands he could have that your KK is favored against

i sometimes fold the KK, but un the turn because the raise my bet with AQJ suited or any other because they can have flush or strairs

Not only have I folded KK. I have folded AA.

The situation was in a tourney with the bubble coming up. AA and KK are great but lets face it. It is just one pair. Some bozo goes all in with small suited connectors and can hit two pair or a set or a flush or a straight. I want to get some money out of the tourney, especially a freeroll where I am trying to get started with a bankroll on some site.

so yeah, I believe there are times to fold big pockets

great point! as with most questions in life...it depends.

So, in different situatuions you should act focusing on style of the game of your opponent(and Yeah,sometimes you can fold KK)
