Default Re: First time tempted to fold KK preflop.

I definately have PAHUD..and this is why I was tempted to fold...but then I remembered back on the vast number of posts in this very forum that chastised anyone for even considering folding KK preflop.

And we will continue to chastise in the future. You just happened upon the unicorn and didn't realize it.

On average you will get a pocket pair 6% of time. Throw in AK and you have 7% VPiP. This guy's range is definable with almost 100% certainty. With a 0% PFR (rounded down from 0.4% or so), you have one hand AA (okay maybe KK too) in his raising range. Given this situation, what other conclusion can you reach when villain pushes pre-flop?

I completely agree...and was very much convinced. I just didn't think I was ever "allowed" to fold KK. Now I know better...unfortunatley (or fortunately?), I may never happen upon this situation again.

There are no concrete rules in NLHE. There are probably guidelines you should follow very closely but there is always an exception. Dont get too wrapped in this hand (not that I think you are). In the long run its not going to make a huge difference.
