Default Aces and Kings all in?

OK, everything I've read says you should be willing to go all-in preflop with aces (duh!) and kings. Really?

I've been doing it, and every time I push it preflop with KK, I get called with AA. The only time I get an inferior call (with either hand) is when an opponent is shortstacked. But when someone has a full buy in or more, I always end up against aces.

Yesterday I even went all in with aces and got called by.... aces!

I have been called with kings a couple times when I've had aces, but much more often than that I've lost with kings to aces.

Is it really true you should be willing to push with kings? Obviously it's player dependent and if you can get a read that an opponent would never make a 3rd raise unless.... blah blah blah.

But seriously....

This is useless without a hand to discuss. --4_2_it
