    Default Do we EVERRRR fold KK PF? (preposterous hand history inside)

    ok lots of reads to get through here, although they're all after just 20 or so hands:
    UTG (original PFR) is 44/36 LAgg fish, so we can sneeze at his 3xBB
    mp (original PFR flatter) is fourteen/fourteen (which isn't even possible since this stat is after he flatted but whatever
    mp2 (original 3bettor) is 66.7/20 mega fish (but he's still 3betting)
    mp3 (original 3bet flatter) is 32/6.5 and finally
    SB is 23/twelve

    again this isn't over many hands and half these players are fish but how often should i expect NOT to see aces in a 6-way 3bet pot?


    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, 2+0.25 Tournament, 15/30 Blinds (9 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    SB (t1430)
    Hero (BB) (t1230)
    UTG (t1550)
    UTG+1 (t2610)
    MP1 (t1470)
    MP2 (t2140)
    MP3 (t5610)
    CO (t1470)
    Button (t1320)

    Hero's M: 27.33

    Preflop: Hero is BB with ,
    UTG bets t60, 1 fold, MP1 calls t60, MP2 raises to t240, MP3 calls t240, 2 folds, SB calls t225, [color=#CC3333]Hero ?

    You can definitely fold KK preflop but it's not something I'd ever consider doing until you get a lot more experienced. I've folded them once this year (and was right). At a $2 tournament I probably wouldn't ever fold TT preflop let alone KK.

    don't worry, everybody, i pushed without letting a tick go off the clock. i wasn't expecting to still be in the tourney after i did it, though, and thought it was worth asking about.

    since there seems to be no debate here, lol, i'll just go ahead and tell you what happened. I pushed, two of the fish and the (what i thought) tight player all called. the two fish turned over 55 and TT and the tight player turned over...KJo. needless to say i made it deep in the tourney

    Exactly the types of hands I'd expect from the preflop action, maybe even a little better. I don't know why anyone would suspect AA in there.

    Personally I don't fold a pair of kings until I see the flop. But there are times when you can regret not folding a pair of kings: somebody has pocket rockets (aces). Then again you can make a set on the flop.

    I would never fold KK preflop. THerese too many hands that it dominates.

    In donkaments, I'd rather set my pubes alight than fold KK pre.

    There has only been one occasion in cash games that i've ever folded KK pre - a super nit limped utg, 3bet then 5bet me, and then showed their aces when I folded.

    Pokerstars $33 Main Event Qualifier.
    40K 15 till $650 money. Some guy pushed A-rag and I called KK my gut told me to fold. I lost 15 K. 10 till money I have 21k from blinds and antes. I pushed KK and lost to suited A3 from big blind had me covered by 1k... out of tournament from KK. If I folded KK the first time I wouldn't feel desperate enough to push KK here.

    I could have just raised 3 to 4 x BB but I thought nobody that had A-rag would call. I was fairly sure that everybody would fold unless they had a pp or AK. I was praying that he wouldn't hit any aces but it came on the turn and the river.
