Would you fold KK pre-flop if you were on the bubble?

It's impossible for me to retire with that hand, if I lose the tournament it's inevitable but if I win the hand I have more chances to fight for the tournament

In my opinion, all-in jacks and kings is the right thing to do. I think I was just unlucky in the tournament. I'm not a pro but on the other hand, folding these couples on bubble is also right. It all depends on your propensity to resist the temptation to invade kings. If you dropped the jacks, the kings should have passed too, he would still win you with any cards in hand, because the great RNG was on his side.

There is a very good chance that I’d be all in on the bubble with pocket KK’s.

I cannot fold KK pre-flop In the bubble & low stacked, I would raise all-in everytime with premium hands and then some. :mad:

No. I wouldn’t fold KK preflop. Perhaps after the flop- depends on the texture of the board.

If it were a very important tournament with high stakes, maybe I would throw KK in that position, but for an ordinary tournament, no

The real question is what does $30. mean to you. If it is a large amount of money then you fold, but if it is chump change you play.

Many times I have lost that way . A JJ Might be easy fold , QQ you might think a little , but KK ?? Wtf are you going to play then , only AA ?! Ofcourse ITM icm is a b*** , but I tend to call , it depends on the situation.
