Default How many re-raises before you fold KK?

Assume infinately deep stacks. Each raise or reraise is 3x the last one. You have KK.

How many re-raises would it take for the certainty that that other person had aces would outweigh the pot odds?

Of course the answer is that it depends: specifically it depends on how light your opponents are willing to put in the previous raises.

The only hand that is ahead is AA. If one guy holds AA then you are about 8% to win the pot. If two guys hold AA, you are even better than that. So, while there may be a certain number of re-raises at which point I would fold, there also is a certain point at which it would be incorrect to fold because of the pot odds.
