Listen there are some people out there who are capable of folding kings preflop nath. Just cause you are one of them doesnt mean you gotta hate on them.

Default In Favor Of Folding....

You are no doubt correct that villain does not want to see a flop -- he is afraid his low pocket-pair or unpaired high cards will lose to some flukey board. In either case, it is my view your AQo is behind; if pusher is any kind of decent player, the only hand you're beating (and a hand with which he would push) is AJ.... for my money, that is too small a range upon which to risk half your stack.

In this case, I fold and wait for a better spot.

Your friend is probably running hot to be a "well known online player" if he folds AQ here.

no offense !

Yeah you're right, I don't even like folding queens preflop.
But KK against one raise and one flop bet, yeah, that's enough info to tell you the guy has AA. Right? Right.

If you ever want a kick, read through some of the other hand discussion threads. I just found one where someone smooth called one raise with KK preflop, got all his chips in on a low flop, and was trying to figure out how to get away from losing to AA.
Stuff like that all over the place.

Funny thing about that: Yesterday, I called KK PF, overcalled a reraise, and spent $300 of a $700 stack deciding to fold on a low flop/turn (the hand sucked but not for those reasons.) I was later seen on AIM commenting how, two months ago, I would have lost 700 without a second thought, whereas now I was pissed at losing 300.

This hand is actually closer than you'd think (evidence: give yourself ATs - 90% of the forum folds) but it's a call. It's just not a 'think more than 3 seconds' call - I'd have to consider it (before calling anyway.)
