Default When isn\'t right to get all-in with KK

I was recently in a live game. 1/2 NL in A.C. Twice I was delt KK and twice I faced raise wars preflop that lead me going all in. In both these situations I ended up facing AA.

Should KK be played any slower against heavy aggression for fear of AA?

basically, no

there will be opponents and stack sizes where folding KK pf would be a good move, but usually go all the way.

Basically, if you have to ask the question, then you should never fold KK.

You'll have to have a very good understanding of why & when you should lay down KK, and you'll also need some seriously good reads to do this.

You risk losing a huge amount of money each time you lay down KK. For most people, their huge KK laydowns will be incorrect enough that the end result will be -EV.

It depends on how deep you are. For 100bb I'm almost never thinking about folding KK pre-flop.

With 300bb and more, I don't think anyone sane is going to put their whole stack in with AK or QQ.

Very true, but first you need a read on whether villain is sane or not (in a poker sense).
