Something like this:

Flop is heart heart heart and I have no heart and dude is betting or reraising big.

Or flop is (KK10) and you have AA

i will never forget that cold, rainy night i finally folded my AA on the river

I fold my KK when the ace shows up. I fold my Aces almost never, I need to work on that.

in holdem one time i folded red aces when the board was JJT98 with 4 spades. should i have folded or not my opponent was pretty aggressive???

The problem isn't that you're failing to fold aces. The problem probably is you're either not very good at hand reading and/or bet sizing.

Here's the sixth time I've done this:

3/6 went to showdown, all 3 had AA.

shockingly its right to fold kk pf sometimes

OP looks spammy to me.

Hmm... a six-bet preflop, with min-raises galore and a sizeable bet on the end?

Yeah I"d fold.

Not many will be folding this weekend on party, sets stock just went up...

fnord do you lagg it up in that game? is it still as unbearably nitty as i remember it?

This wouldn't be the spot to fold KK right?

Opp is a 22/3 regular, and i've never seen him do this before. So, I did get a feeling, with such a narrow PFR that he might not do this with JJ/QQ so often.

That's not a spot I fold KK ^^^^^^^^^^^

that's tough, but you're reasoning sounds a bit weird. If you thought he wouldn't do that with <=QQ, that means you're calling over 10x the pot to split, or take 20/80 with KK vs AA. Fold

of course, if your range for his play is wrong, then that's another thing

lol. No, I had the reasoning, and the feeling, that I might be wrong to call, but after being indoctrinated with "NEVER FOLD KK PF" I just mashed the call button and was shown AA.

Anyone being results oriented in this thread or what?

Fnord, in hand 1 you posted, isnt this a fist pump call? i mean he open shoved over your raise!!! you have the second best hand.

KK I fold pretty often( when A comes) but aces get me in some trouble sometime when flop looks like 7 3 J and someone floped set!

Not when it's someone playing 8 tables with an under 6% VP$IP who really left me with a nit impression. I raise EP (I didn't think my image was that far out of line and certainly positional) and a donk called. What is a thinking playing going to be shoving there other than AA figuring to get a fast stack if I'm KK/QQish

Its sng, but even so..

I read souls, obv.


Can't remember the details, it was a long time ago. I was browsing through one of my old blog posts on here and I found this gem
I probably wanted to tarp, but then [insert memory lapse here]

kk twice preflop once I didn't get back to the table in time, and the other was kk twice in a row and I folded it(did not see I folded it till looking through ptracker later so I dunno I must have thought something weird)

I folded AA just once, heads-up, after getting raised pre-flop, i re-raised and he called. The flop came J-5-2, i made a small bet to force him to call, he re-raised me, i re-raised him and he moved all in. Then after some thinking, considering his raise pre-flop i folded. He won the pot and showed J-J. Felt good!

When I was at a tight table and limped KK in mid position?, hoping to spring a reraise on someone's small pair/ Ace high. Flop came rags, but someone in the blind really liked their hand, so I'm usually gone if anyone in the blinds is giving me heat or slowplaying trips.
