Which is why I said "Obviously there are exceptions...", however, in this particular hand, it's not the exception and you do NOT want to go broke here.

The rule with AA is that "if you limp with aces, you never go broke with aces". Obviously there are exceptions, but that's the rule (flop a set and go broke, have a read on some jackass but he gets lucky, etc).

Why should it be any different with KK?

This is incorrect. I believe it comes from Cloutier/McEvoy, which is pretty much all misinformation.

If you limp AA/KK, of course you sometimes go broke with it. There are some situations where you can get away from it. You don't automatically go allin with one pair in a limped pot, but of course you sometimes go broke or double up with it.

IMO that rule is incorrect. First of all, the money is shallow by cash game standards. A big pair plays about the same as TPTK or bottom two pair. You should sometimes be willing to go allin with those hands in a limped pot. Also, when you limp KK and don't get a reraise, your hand is well disguised.
