Default Is it possible to avoid going broke when...

You are in a SNG with KK and 1500 PFR and get Reraised by opponent with same stack size. Opponent has AA. Blinds are 25/50. If possible, tell me the situation. Also, blinds any higher will just make it harder not to go broke right?

This may belong in BBV. I used to live with the idea that it's ok when this happens and i go broke. However, it's been happening so much that maybe i'm truly missing something. Thanks for your support.

You're KK vs. AA happens 1/20 some odd times. Get used to it.
Most of the time you win.

You're looking to double whenever possible especially early in SNG's. If someone pushes and you wake up to KK, you have to call every time.

This is completely untrue.

You still need to get it in with KK.

I have never read a post where the question is "is it possible to avoid going broke here" where the answer is yes.

I'm saying when you're likely a big favorite, not just push with 66 and hope to win flips. I would fold QQ in the spot described.

Well it's possible but only with a very good specific read. Against an unknown never fold kk pf for 75bbs.
edit: Wait the stacks are 30bbs never ever fold period no matter how good a read I have you cant fold kk or qq for that matter with only 30bbs.
