Re: Folding KK Pre-flop
In one of Phil Gordon's books he says something like "The 4th raise is always aces." I think he's right.
So, if you are deep enought to raise, get reraised, you raise again, and villain pushes, then you can fold KK if villain is a reasonably good player.
100bb effective stacks, however, aren't really deep enough to get away unless you have a good read on a particular player. With a read, you can fold KK quite easily. But you need a lot of history with the player to make the fold a good play. And it needs to be the kind of player who won't pick up on your ability to fold KK to his AA only to have him start doing the same thing with AK on occasion. There are plenty of uber-nits, however, that would ONLY ever push preflop with AA and vs them you can fold KK even in a 100bb game.
