Default Is the 4th raise always aces??

Pretty self explanatory. . .

You raise with AK and get re raised, you then re raise and your opponent shoves. AK goes in the muck. . easy. Same goes for QQ/JJ.

The problem is when you have KK. I just find it tough to lay it down when all signs point to aces. I mean why 4 bet pre flop unless you have aces?? So basically is the 4 bet always aces or should we be calling with KK most of the time?

I think you should be calling w/ KK most of the time, regardless of the action.

Occasionally you'll run into AA, but after the third raise, lots of players feel like calling is too weak, so they'll raise again and maybe they can provoke all the chips to the center of the felt.

Basically, call w/ KK.
Almost always.

Once again, calling AI with KK PF is not a big leak in your game. It's not a big leak in anyone's game. Why in the hell do people spend their entire lives trying to find the one situation where it's correct to fold. Please work on something else to improve your game, anything would be more beneficial than this.

Only if you're playing against a bunch of old people.

If you have KK and put in a 3rd bet with the plan to fold to a 4 bet doesn't that mean that you are essentially bluffing with kings?

Bluffing with kings is generally a bad strategy because a better hand never folds but you sometimes allow a worse hand to steal the pot from you.
